I was looking to put in a few heat adjusted tempo miles last night. However at the start of the run my legs felt dead and achy. As I entered the trails in the Wissahickon Park I was already playing the mental game of planning routes to chop a couple miles off of my planned 10.

I kept the pace easy and hoped my legs would wake up, which they did after a few miles. I still took a pass on the tempo and was content to run the trails to a little above Valley Green and then back on Forbidden Drive. It's always nicer to end a run stronger than you started.

10 miles in 75 minutes.
