Tempo Run Success

Tuesday night I went to the Jack Johnson concert. It was so much fun. I have never seen him in concert and he sounded just like he does on the CDs. The rain held off and it was a blast!



My dad and I had tentative plans to get up early to run Wednesday morning but it was supposed to rain and I figured it was going to be a late night so we decided to get the run in after work. It was a good decision because I definitely went to bed later than usual and when I got up this morning it was raining. The rain finally stopped by the afternoon but it was still really humid. About 70% humid. I was worried I wasn't going to hit the splits on our tempo run. It was definitely hard but I think it went pretty well! I slept like a baby last night, which is usually a good sign.

Good luck with the 20 miles! I am so jealous you went to Jack Johnson!! I had tickets but ended up not going because of the weather (it was outdoors).
