No pain, no gain ... Mile 21 of the 2007 Cleveland Marathon

30-minute tempo

Today was a balmy 52 degrees and sunny when I headed out for a 30-minute jaunt before watching the Browns lose (at least it was an entertaining game).

This run was the last hard one before Thursday's Turkey Trot.

I ran the first mile in 8 minutes, then picked it up for about a 6:55/mile pace or so for the next two miles and then finished the last mile in 8 minutes.

All totaled, it was about 4 miles in 30 minutes for a 7:30/mile pace, very solid.

On Monday, I'll probably do either 2 or 3 miles really easy and then take off Tuesday and Wednesday so that I can be fresh for the 5-K race on Thursday.

Looking forward to this! Hopefully the weather will be decent this year. Right now, the forecast calls for a high of 46 degrees and rain. At least it's not supposed to be a blizzard.

Happy running!
