Tempo Run

Date: 8/14
Time: 6pm
Place: Walnut Creek
Run: Tempo run. I did a 5 minute warm-up and took off. I have no experience doing any speed work, so I still don't know my pace very well. I was planning on a 40 minute tempo, but after 25 I was crashing. I stuck it out to 30 and almost puked when I stopped. I walked/jogged back to my car, which ended up being a 20 minute cool-down.

I made the same mistake I always do, I ran without water and got really dehydrated. I may have finished the full 40 minutes with water, but it was over 90 degrees and I got really dry. I have got to start taking water with me on these runs. Seriously.
