tempo run

After waiting & waiting for the leg to fully recover, I finally got out today and did the tempo run I was planning to do a couple weeks ago. The day didn’t start out good with the injury from last year flaring up – lower back, but had no pain at all in the left leg & it felt strong to my relief. Cool temps in the 30’s all day were nice. Ran the last half of the 50K course in 3:35, about 15 minutes slower than the same run this time last year before the race – so looks like I’ll be hard pressed to break 7 hours this year for the 50K at LLTH.
