Tempo Run (9.4mi)

Warmed up with a short run with the dog, followed by a fast paced tempo run.
Weight: 136.5 lbs
Time: 73 min

Went to bed before 8pm, and slept pretty hard through most of the night.  I warmed up, stretched, and did push ups, pull ups, and upper body cross training.  Took the dog for a mellow warm up.  After that I did my usual tempo route and ended up averaging a 6:05/mi pace before cooling down for around 3 miles.

The run went well, but my hips are a bit sore.  This might be a case of being tight after several days off, but I can't dismiss the fact that my road shoes are getting worn out.
