Fartlek Fridays - Feb 24

Decided that I had to run at lunch, and take advantage of the acceptable weather.  It was chilly and breezy, but great to go hard.  I had no real workout thought out, other than some tempoing.

I spotted Jerry, who is one of the regulars at Glenmore Running Room ahead of me, and pushed harder to catch up the him and his running partner.  I then spent 10 minutes chatting and running with them, up to the crowchild bridge.  They stopped for a walk break (it was supposed to be a recovery run for them), so I decided to tempo again until I caught up to some people.  Put in a 4:28 km that felt nice.

I kept a good pace all run, with only one stop to re-tie a shoe, and another walk break at the princes island bridge.  Got my 8k run done in 38:12, so I think that the tempoing goal was met.
