AM - 4 easy, 7:30ish pace

PM - 8 mile tempo. Wanted to see what it would feel like to hold 5:30 pace through 8 miles. I found out. It was difficult. 43:55 final time.

I've wheeled out 2 miles of river trail but really need to do more. I had to do 3 180s on this trip, that's just pushing it a bit for me. But a super awesome exciting fantastic run as it was. I feel pretty pumped. Tired but pumped.

Started feeling a little bit tired after about 2 miles, and the feeling remained steady through 7 miles or so. Just before that I had a little stomach cramp and my breathing became shallow, something I haven't felt in a really, really long time. Probably means I need to improve my diet and do some situps.

On a side note, I've been gradually improving my diet. This week I bought a bunch of Kool-aid packets to replace the huge amounts of Coke I've been ingesting. This is what I mean by gradual improvement.

Anyway, splits were as follows:

Very, very happy with this run. Followed up with 40 lunges and 25 pushups.
