4 Mile "Tempo" Run

So, this run was supposed to be a tempo run. For some reason I don't remember tempo runs being this hard, but I also don't remember shooting for a sub-9:00 minute pace. I guess it was still pretty hot out also. Overall I'm pretty happy that I came close to hitting my times because it sounds like very few actually did. Dee, Priscilla, and I did our 2 mile warm-up together and then started on the 4 mile loop. I don't think I was really warmed up after 2 miles because I actually managed to get faster as I went despite the last mile including a gradual climb up Greenlawn.

Goal: Run 4 miles at 8:52-9:02

Mile 1: 9:11
Mile 2: 9:02
Mile 3: 9:00
Mile 4: 8:52

I guess I did some nice progressive pace splits. :)
