Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Met up with Paul after work at Ramapo. He was doing an easy run to test out his Achilles so he ran my warmup with me. We went from the village to Potter's field. It was around 6:00 and still pretty warm and very humid. I felt ok on the warmup not great. The tempo was a little over 4 laps on Potter's Field to hit 2.5 miles. I took it out too hard the first half mile which made it tougher than it should have been. The humidity wasn't helping either. First mile was 5:46 and it didn't feel smooth like I wanted. The next mile was 5:54, then I was able to hold on for a 2:54 last half mile. Next week I want to go out more conservatively and focus on running relaxed and keeping good turnover. I hit the pace but this felt too forced. Hopefully I can find a good trail next week on vacation to do my tempo on
