Last night we had our monthly badmitton tournament, with the whole family. It is a tradition that we started in May and we have been really good about getting together and playing and visiting. we played over in Spanish Fork so after the tournament I decided that I would run home back to Salem. I knew that it would be close to 7 miles to get back home so I decided I would break it up into a 2 mile warm up and then a 3 mile tempo run at about a 6:30 pace.
mile 1 7:11
mile 2 7:09
mile 3 6:34 - dodging cars along powerhouse road... and getting dark
mile 4 6:28 - starting to get a side ache from all of the water melon and water I drank while palying badmitton.
mile 5 decided not to continue with the tempo and backed off to get rid of side ache. 7:23
mile 6 7:24
mile 7 7:41
Legs felt great and breathing was good, I hate running at night on a full stomach.
