Another tempo run on the treadmill. Last one was a Xmas day and I ran 4 miles. This one I went for 4.5 miles.
Total distance: 9 miles
Tempo Distance 4.5 miles
Total Duration: 1:05:53
Tempo Duration: 30:00
Total pace: 7:19
Tempo pace: 6:40
It was a tough effort but not excruciating. My HR monitor has been somewhat on the fritz lately so not sure where my HR really was at... supposedly I peaked at 168. I am always suspicious on what these efforts would equate to on the road but regardless, I know they're good efforts. I'm kind of digging the treadmill for now anyway. Should be able to endure the winter and come out the other end in a good place.
I've been doing okay with my diet as well. Today was the first day I got on the scale and the weight seemed to be shifting down a bit. It's only been a week so still early to tell. If I can lose a pound every 9 days, that would be a 10lb loss by the end of March which would put me in a decent place... a pound a week would be even better.
