7.56m at 8.32 pace w/ avg HR of 171
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1st mile in 8.73 @ 150 - Warmup mile.
2nd mile in 8.62 @ 169 - Having a hard time finding my pace obviously.
3rd mile in 8.20 @ 173 - This is more like it.
4th mile in 8.15 @ 174 - Steadily dialing that pace in...
5th mile in 8.20 @ 176 - More of the same.
6th mile in 8.08 @ 177 - Feeling stronger and it's showing.
7th mile in 8.02 @ 179 - Probably overdoing it now.
remaining in 4.87 (8.70 min/mile) @ 177 - Not that great of a cooldown.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was a 1/6/1 "tempo" run where I was supposed to do a warmup mile, then six miles at "MT" pace (i.e. 10k pace plus 15-20sec), then a cooldown mile. I pretty much skipped the true "cool down" and just did a half mile slow pace and then a half mile walk to the car (not counted in the total!) to cool down.
Weather was nice, sunny and in the 60's.

Commentary:
Had some pretty bad stomach cramps for a good 12+ hours afterwards. Maybe it was because I delayed getting some food in my stomach for awhile (had to pick up the kid from the parents and drive home to eat). So despite what I said about my OJ/water concoction below, I'm gonna experiment with having gatorade on these long (60min+) runs going forward.
Also, the Mizuno is still giving me blisters, but only on my right foot, on the inside of the ball and on the tips of my #2 and #3 toes. The nylon dress sock trick didn't help this time, so I'm going to have to figure something else out soon. I did loosen the laces a little so maybe that will help next time around.
