Long Run. 8.3 miles in 1:14. 8:54 pace.
I'm at my FIL's place in MI, so I don't know the exact mile markers. It felt like I ran about 9 min pace for the first 6 miles. For the last 1.5, I picked it up to something like 8 down to 7:30 pace. Coasted in the last .5 mile. Overall, it was a great run, scenery-wise and running-wise.

Tempo Run. 5 miles in 41:56. 8:23 AP.
2 miles easy: 9:00, 8:30
2 miles tempo: 7:15, 7:01
1 mile very easy: 10:10.

This was my first tempo run in a long time. It felt both good (to get it under my belt and still run those times) and bad (it kinda hurt)
