8 Mile Tempo Run

8 miles up at the lake, another tempo run - holding the pace right around 9:30. Took 3 water/walk breaks at the mile 2, 4 and 6 points. Fairly consistent run, but my legs are rather tired after running 4 of the last 5 days. Will be nice to have 2 days good, that's for sure. 1:15:53 total time for an average pace of 9:29, splits of 9:58, 9:24, 9:34, 9:31, 9:31, 9:31, 9:24 and 8:56. Cool out, temp around 67F, but was a bit humid. Average heart rate was 160, though it crept up a bit at the end, with the final mile average being 166. Overall a decent run, 21 seconds slower than last weeks 8 miler.
