I ran a 5k this evening. It wasn't a race or anything, but I tried to run it like it was. I started out a little slow and gradually picked up the pace as I went. I was definitely feeling it at the end.
This was another treadmill run. I will wait until it gets a little warmer before I start venturing outside. One thing I am noticing about running on a treadmill is that I seem to use a shorter stride. It isn't until I get it up to an 8 min mile pace before I start feeling myself stretch it out more.
So my 5k time was 25:10. That sounds slow, but I sure felt like I was running as fast as I could (and still finish). At least I now have a time to beat for this weekend's 5k at the Zoo.
Tomorrow I am planning to run an easy 4 miles. Once again it will be on the treadmill. I am actually going to miss the page/time/distance screens when I run outside. Maybe I should pick up one of those Garmin watches.
