Tempo time!

September 6, 2018 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Felt really light and quick as soon as I stepped out the door so I decided to turn on strava and see what I could do. Discovered almost immediately that my one of my headphones was broken and wouldn't stay in my ear, so I ended up not listening to anything but my own thoughts for about 80% of the run, which is unusual for me these days, but didn't used to be. I'm glad I can still push myself without needing any external distractions. Kept up a 6:45 average pace, dipping down into the 6:20s during some of the downward sloping miles. Really pleased! Sarajevo's Wilson Boulevard along the river is gorgeous at night. It's closed to traffic and there are lots of bikers and walkers, a few joggers, vendors selling sweets, a 20- and 30-something couple canoodling on just about every bench. (Hey, it's a pretty liberal city). The air was cool and refreshing after the 80-degree afternoon.
