Little disappointing today. I was supposed to run 14 Miles with (6) x 6 minutes at Tempo pace. As you can see, I only got 4 Tempo runs in, however, they were at a little faster pace then I should have gone, I'm sure that contributed to how tired I got. I also didn't get the full 8 Easy miles in, I got 6.5. After the Tempos, I was beat. I don't think I gave myself enough wake-up time this morning, it was out of bed, in the shower, stretch and go. Need to go to the grocery store or something first to loosen up the muscles. I might be over training to, last week I had 7 straight days of training.

Bottom line, I know I could complete this exercise if I run it at the right pace, and I have proper warm-up time. This is one I will have to do again, and a lesson I hope I learn. By running too fast, I made my workout less effective.
