The concept is smart and I liked the run. I am the worst at adding speed work and tempo runs in but I have made a promise to myself to do these in 2009. It is all about getting smarter and reaching new/different goals.
We wrapped up the run with a hard push to the car. Chris did great today and will be more than ready for his half marathon coming up in a few weeks.
Scott and I have finished up the workout with a hard 30 minute ride at the Sports Club. With our membership ending the last day of November I have decided to cycle my bunns off and not miss a class.
Thanks a ton for all of the encouraging comments about Scott's job hunt. Never a fun thing to do BUT we know that this is just another opportunity to do even more in his field. His attitude and outlook is just amazing. It will help open doors that he could never see if he where a negative person.
Happy "pre" Thanksgiving!!

Nice job on the tempo run. Enjoy all the spin classes! I haope all goes well with the job hunt. Hope you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thanks again Robin (and Scott) for the AWESOME running companionship and for pushing me to run out of my comfort zone!!
I was bad at temo runs and spedwork too, until recently. The speedwork is NOT fun but it's definately helping my endurance.
How do you figure out pace for a temp run?
Sounds like fun! We are going to do speed work on Wed. am at the middle school if you all want to join us. I'll be the one in the very back of the pack!!
Love you!

I always thought Tempo runs weren't much longer than 5 miles. Nice job on the 11 mile tempo run! :)
Good luck to Scott finding work. I read your post below and it sounds like you guys have it figured out as far as what you need to do in the mean time.
Well, that's one heck of a way to jump into doing tempo runs!
Great attitude on the job front. I hope he finds something even better than before. And I will gladly sign that RW issue when our paths cross someday :-)
Congrats on the tempo run AND spin. I'm sure your legs are thanking you. ;)
I like tempo runs, but not when they come with an 11 :-) Keep us informed on Scott!!
Tempo runs are one of the best tools for adding race-pace speed and endurance. Great job!
I'm still wishing Scott all the best luck with the job hunt.
Nice workouts. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
Great job!
Sounds like Scott has a really good attitude and that will just set him up for something positive to come his way. Keep it going!
Welcome to speed work, learn to embrace your inner fast he's in there busting to get out!
Great job on the run. Does Scott have any leads on a new job, or is he still evaluating what is available out there?
Sounds like a great run!
Good luck with Scott's job hunt. It's so wonderful that you are so positive. I am sure he will find something soon.
I need to start tempo runs too...nice workout. You are so ready for thanksgiving. Have a great holiday!
Great job on the tempo run- they always kick my ass.
Sorry to hear about Scott's job situation. Having recently (well, not even, it was 5 months ago) been laid off from my job I can totally relate. It's been a little tight financially but it has been a great opportunity for us to make changes in our lives that we'd been planning for a while. Things will all work out!
Happy thanksgiving!
Great job on the tempo run. Hope the job searching is going well
Tempo runs aren't that bad! It's the dang track repeats that stink. LOL
It is all about getting smarter and reaching new/different goals.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Amen :-)
Way to knock out that Tempo run and yup you guys will be so ready for that half M.
Hope you had a good Turkey Holiday and didn't eat that much like I did--whew soooo need the gym today-lol
Best wishes on Scott's job hunt, keep that attitude up and you will have no problem, just another of life's tests!!
Tempo runs are cool ... really gives you a reason to stretch out your legs.
Best of luck to Scott on the job search. I've been there, it isn't fun, but he seems to have a good attitude, which is awesome.
