Tempo run today. We had two different paces that we would switch off each mile. The first one was between a 5:27-5:40 and the second one was 6:10-6:30. I held on pretty well for the first mile but my legs were killing me so I took a quick 10 second stop to stretch it and fell back behind the group. I was never able to catch back up and I went significantly slower throughout. I had to stop after each mile to stretch my legs which were hurting more than they ever had before. Then to top it all off I had a pretty nasty asthma attack and my diabetes levels were pretty low. For the last 2 miles of the tempo I just kept it at a 6:30. My average pace for the day was a 6:35/mile which isn't too bad when I look at how much pain I was in. I was very glad to be done when I got back and I'm just going to try and forget about this run.
