Happy Wednesday! This morning when I woke up the birds were chirping and the sun was already shining! There is no better way to start the day than a sunshine filled walk to the gym! I can feel summer right around the corner and spring is doing it’s best to appear this week! This is the warmest forecast we’ve had since Fall! 
This morning’s workout was a tempo run, including some hills and speed to mix things up. Based on my Mini 10k training plan I needed to log 5 miles today. To keep boredom at bay, I switched it up a bit and kept things changing throughout the 5 miles!
| Mile 1 | 6.1-6.3 mph | Incline: 1 |
| Mile 2 | 6.2 mph | Incline: 1-8 rolling hills |
| Mile 3 | 6.2 mph | Incline 2 |
| Mile 4 | 6.2 | Incline: 1-5 rolling hills |
| Mile 5 | 6.5-7.0 | Incline: 0 |
While this wasn’t your typical tempo run due to the last mile not being a cool down/recovery, I loved this workout! I was nice and sweaty by the end but I was never bored once!
After I finished I spent 10 minute on the mat foam rolling and stretching.
Our walk home from the gym was more scenic than normal due to all the flowers in Gramercy Park!
How cute are those little shoes which were left to dry on the rod iron gate?
I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! I’m heading out to tour stores in Long Island today which will definitely be an adventure. I’ve never taken the LIRR alone, nor have I spent time in suburban Long Island!
Love all the park pictures! It looks so pretty!
Saw you on Twitter. Great job on that treadmill workout.
i like the idea of mixing hills in to a tempo workout. and spring is making me SO happy right now. it came way too late but im glad its finally here!
Hope you had fun on LI — Smithhaven Mall 4 eva!
I spent many of my teenage days in that Macy’s. My first pair of CK Jeans, a big sparkly pink cocktail ring that I wore to my prom….memories!
