Proud of myself...

I started my tempo at about 7:45 this morning, so it was a little bit warm, but I was determined.

I was very consistent and finished with a 8:39 average, with the goal being 8:35-8:40.

I wanted to stop and walk throughout, but I would not let myself, nor would I let my average pace creep above that 8:40 mark.

These are the kinds of runs that will get me to the finish line in under four hours.
