Lately many of my runs have been a variation of a "tempo run" by default. As in I don't manage to get out of the house until 6:50am and Hubby needs to leave by 7:30am AND my goal mileage for the day is 5 miles. You see the issue here since I typically run a pace of 9:30 to 10:30 per mile on daily runs (especially in this heat). So I've had quite a few mornings where my pace is averaging around 8:30 per mile. Based on what I've read, I should really be doing a warm-up and cool-down mile at a slower pace, but again, it's not really an option some days.
(Total side note: Our A/C went out Thursday afternoon. Yikes it was hot in here! Luckily the A/C repair guy was here bright and early on Friday and got it functioning again by 10am. I don't know about the weather where you are, but we're on our 28th consecutive day of triple digit heat.)
