It has been rather blustery and chilly today, but that meant for another run in good weather. The spring has been so long and filled with so many good running days. It's been going on since February and shows no signs of stopping. Twisted Leah's arm to hustle out the door at 6pm and told her we were going past Zeke's, up Wisc, over on Bradley, and back on Conn. After a relatively brisk start, I told her she would be running a tempo. She was understandably miffed. I then irritated her further by disputing every hill she noted. Somehow, despite my blurring the lines of father and coach, she did a great tempo effort from Wisc and Bradley to Chevy Chase Cr. Inspired by her effort, I then decided to do my own 10 minute tempo and went solo down Conn to Ingomar and up to Reno and home before jogging a cooldown down to 39th and back. Pace along Reno was 6:40 which was nice to see, and I assume I was sub 7 before that. Felt good to push a little bit.
