Tempo not race

Tuesday night and tempo time.  Having a wonderful history of all my runs is good but there is always the temptation to push the pace, to set a record.  Sometimes I think I am running at almost race pace rather than at a tempo.  Rather than making me stronger this will gradually weaken and fatigue me.

So tonight I concentrate on maintaining a tempo rather than trying to race a previous-me.  I get caught badly at the lights in Catford.  The cars keep coming and coming.  Eventually I am off again.  I get caught again later.  Bah!

My shoes also start to leak.  It's not raining hard but the shoes leak.  I get home and feel nicely worked-out.
