Decent workout

Today was my first "tempo" workout in months, and it wasn't pretty. I struggled to keep a pace that was slightly slower than my marathon pace for three miles. But I can't really use that as any kind of comparison anymore, too much laziness has occurred between now and then. For now, I'll be satisfied with getting out there on a hot and humid day when I really didn't feel like running fast. My aerobic fitness is still pretty good, I can tell from how Sunday's 8 felt. But my legs are not used to running so frequently anymore, and they definitely don't have any speed left in them. Getting used to running regularly just takes time, and the speed will come back in a couple of weeks. As long as I stick with it and am patient running faster will start to feel easier again. Today was 5 total with the middle three in 19:06, total time was 34:45.
