During the Half last Sunday, I passed Support-Hose lady on mile 2.5! Go me; I passed an 86 year old.
Today was a 60-minute run with 30 of the minutes as tempo – sorry if I confused you guys into thinking I was actually going to sprint for 60 minutes. I’m not quite there yet. But my question is: If the tempo is slow but feels fast does it still count as a tempo run?

That would be a “slowpo”. I do run the occasional “slowpo’s”, and there is nothing wrong with that
hell ya it counts
Susan,
Yes, they all count. You could be like me and whether your are walking, jogging, running or sprinting it is all basically the same speed…the only thing that changes is the expression on my face. I guess that makes me a “real slowpo”! See you in the AM!

Turning Japanese (song reference)?
Slowpo…I like it. I shall adopt the saying as my own.
Absolutely. You were just going at “a slower tempo,” that’s all.
tempo is tempo. You got your fast tempo and your slow tempo. It all counts.
It only gets you points if you kicked out her walker as you went by.
If the pace feels fairly hard, then yes, definitely you’re doing tempo!
Hey, some of those octogenarians are pretty fast! It took me a whole season to overtake the 80 year old runner in my town and that’s only because she dropped out of a race cause her pacemaker needed to be replaced (I wish I was joking).
Absolutely – it counts!
Wooo Hooo! Victory at last.
If you’re breathing hard and can’t talk, it’s a tempo run. Doesn’t matter how fast or slow it is.
you are crackin’ me me up!

Did you ask Michael about whether it’s a tempo run? I would suspect he’d ask you back:
If the sex is slow but feels fast does it still count as sex?
