good tempo today, weather was pretty warm, near 90, but not much humidity, which was nice. Still, i drove down to greenbelt trail so i could run in the forest where it was a little cooler and not as much wind/sun. goal was 4 miles at/or slightly under 24:00, which is half mary pace..just a tempo effort. warmed up for 2 then dropped right into business, splits for the tempo portion were as follows:

1- 5:58.3

2- 5:50.0

3- 5:50.0

4- 6:02.5

Total-- 23:40, 5:55 avg pace for 4 miles, overall, very good workout, the effort felt very easy which is always a good sign...i think the turn around between 2 and 3 was a touch short of a full mile (maybe a few yards is all), but other than that I felt like I ran even paced throughout and am very happy with how comfortable this run was. 2 mile cooldown. 8 total
