Tempo Run (8.1mi)

Took the dog for a short warm up run, then did a 3 mile tempo run.

Weight: 135 lbs
Time: 64 min

Felt a bit better this morning, compared to yesterday's tired, achy, and dizzy.  I'm on the second day of my restarted thyroid treatment, but I don't know if that had any impact.  Did my usual warm up, stretch, and upper body cross training routine, including push ups and pull ups.  Took the dog for the first couple of miles of running, keeping to a slow 8:44/mi pace.  After dropping her back at the house I went back out and did 3 miles at around a 6:14/mi pace.  I followed this with another 3 miles of cool down with some short walking segments to help adapt to the increased mileage.
