Broke through the Tempo 'Wall'

For the third Wednesday in a row I did a hard tempo run. I start with a 2 mile warmup at 8:34 pace and then I run 35 minutes at my Tempo pace of 7:19. I finish with around a 2 mile cooldown at 8:34. The first two times I did this workout I'd get about 22 minutes into the Tempo portion and just want it to end. I was hitting a mini-Wall. Today there was no 'Wall'. It was just a nice hard run. Maybe I was just having a great day. Maybe my anaerobic threshold got pushed up just enough to make the workout easier. Next week I'm doing Tempo for 40 minutes. I can't wait. :-)
