As I was getting ready for my run this afternoon, I realized that it was time to start using the “Tempo C” workout.  That means today’s run was a 40-minute tempo run (I’m using Jenny Hadfield’s “Marathon – Intermediate Run Training Plan”) of 10-minutes easy pace, 25-minutes tempo pace, and ending with 5-minutes easy pace.  I am no speed racer, but even at the faster tempo pace I was able to maintain the speed without problems.  Plus, it was great to be outside running even on an overcast day in the mid-20s (wind-chill in the upper-teens) after being stuck inside on the treadmill for the past two runs.

And the best part is that the “Tempo C” workout also means that as hard as it is to believe after 15+ weeks of training, there are only 30 days until the Circular Logic Marathon.  Boy does time fly.
