5 miles today.
Five miles are beginning to feel like nothing, as they should be. It only feels far for the first mile.
Today's run was good. The first mile hurt more than normal so I figured I was probably not going to have that impressive of a run. But suprisingly my 1/2 mile and mile marks were on track with my good days. That is motivating to know that I'm beginning to build a solid base. I hit 2.5 miles at 25:47. That puts me at about 10:19 miles. I'm happy with that time for now. As I turned around, my head once again knew I was 1/2 way done so it was a piece of cake from there. I'm not sure why its so easy for me after I reach the 1/2 way mark, but I'm not going to question it.
My body started feeling better and I ran the back half of the run. I reached the 5 mile mark at 51:00. That means I came back in 27:13. Or 10:05 miles. That's what I like to see. Out in 27:47, back in 27:13. Good ol negative splitting. So for an average for the entire race, I'm at 10:12 miles. I'm getting closer to 10 min/miles. I think Oprah is getting a little scared!!
Weight - 183
I'm ok with the weight since I have eaten like a pig with all this holiday food. But if I am not at 178 by mid January something is wrong.
Peace out!! :-)
