Short four mile tempo run today. I have had a couple of hard build weeks and taper weeks always leave me feeling a little strange. Today was no exception. It always takes me a little time to get warmed up and four miles is about where I get dialed in and start maintaining a good pace on a usual 8 mile tempo run. Today, it was two miles out and turnaround for home. I used the route through a neighborhood across MacArthur from our house. There a few hills. Nothing major but it's not dead flat like running in the park. Why not throw a little something extra in today. I ran a warm up mile, two zone 3 miles (which means around 9 minute pace) with 3 interations of 30 second sprints sprinkled in, and a cool down mile. The cool down mile is basically the same pace. It's hard to slow down at that point. My body is getting a little sluggish, which is typical for a taper week. It's almost as if the lack of work makes me more tired than putting the hammer down. A couple more days of light work and Lake Pflugerville awaits.
