Total Distance
5.64

45 minute "tempo run" in the heat that probably wasn't really a tempo run. Warmed up for 1 mile, then did 3 miles at marathon pace, then slowed down until I hit 45 minutes. I forgot to look up tempo run before heading out the door, so I winged it. Based on my reading I should've warmed up for 15 minutes, did 15 minutes at a hard but sustainable pace, then cooled down for 15 minutes. Oh well, it was a good workout in 80F temps which is good heat work for me.

Pace for middle miles: 7:23, 7:20, 7:26.

Afterwards at the gym I talked to a guy who is a former Weber runner, Trent (last name)?. He lives in Billings, works as a lawyer, and he put together the winning Ragnar team with his old teammates. He said he's only in 6:20 shape right now so he was the driver and team captain, but they rocked a 5:45 pace so they could beat BYU's time from last year. He was disappointed BYU didn't show up with a team. Maybe in 2014.
