I wasn't sure if I was going to run tonight.I decided to after a day of not so great eating. All week I had been thinking about running four miles tonight. When I first started running, I was only planning on a 5k, that's 3.13 miles. I felt good after the first kilometer and by the half way point, I knew that I might have a chance at running four miles. I finished the 5k in a personal best of 28'39''. Considering that my goal was to finish next months 5k race in under thirty minutes, I was pleased with that time. I decided to keep on running. I completed 4.18 miles and averaged 9'17''/mile.
I've shaved almost a minute off my average pace since I began running and my legs felt good after tonight's run. I've got ice on them now and I suspect I'll feel good in the morning. Tomorrow's a weight lifting day and I'll run Tuesday on one day's rest to see how my legs respond.
My race is August 4th by the way in case anyone was wondering.
