Running a half marathon can take a small toll on you body for the next few days, who would have thought! But I powered through and still felt relatively good for todays run (which I did a day late).
This run was a little more difficult today. This run was supposed to be done yesterday, but I ended up getting bogged down with some extra things I had to get done yesterday, and the run fell off the priority. But today was a tempo run, which meant I needed to push my pace a bit. And that is where the title of this run starts to come into play, I was a bit more fatigued from the half marathon a few days ago then I thought I would be.
But, all in all the run went well. My body felt decent (sans my legs being a bit heavy), and my pace was quite good being able to maintain a 7:30 minute mile for the duration of the tempo. Though, near the end of the tempo section I had a sharp uphill during my route, and it killed my momentum and I had to cut the tempo a bit short. So I ended up running a bit more like 2.7 miles at tempo pace.
