I attempted a 4-mile tempo tonight, but it was terrible. I headed to the track after work but found it occupied by intramurals. Unusable. I jogged down to the end of one of my 4-mile tempo stretches, finished warming up, and got underway. South Bay trail to Bench, it's slightly uphill so I expected it to be a little slow. It was also windy and rainy, but I've successfully dealt with that before. Anyway, I managed about 5:45 the first mile, then struggled to maintain 6:00 pace from there. I just couldn't get my legs to turn over. First 3-workout week, so I felt tight from Tuesday, and the rain and fog didn't help, I had trouble seeing where I was going. All in all, a very disappointing workout.

5k pace workout at Padden. Met up with Derek and warmed up together. 1xmile, 4xhalf-mile was the workout. 4:00 and 2:00 rests. I figured I should be low-5's but was unsure given Thursday's fiasco. Went 5:08, 2:33, 2:31, 2:30, 2:31. Pleasantly surprised given the poor weather today.
