Runner's Almanac Day 46, 4 miles

Today I did a tempo run – long sections at a faster pace – probably even faster than my fastest 5k, based on my final time. It’s true, one day, a run can be hard at only 3 miles, a week later 4 miles feels tough, but rejuvenating and purposeful. I was glad to have gotten this run in today, since I hadn’t run since the 12 miles on Saturday. I also want to keep training for the half-marathon I have scheduled this weekend. San jose, here I come! Do you know the way? (That joke may elicit groans)
