Tempo Run - 5 miles

Today's goal was a 5-mile tempo run @ 8:22 - 8:37. I'm happy to report that I nailed it, burning 608 calories in the process.



Mile 1: 8:19.52
Mile 2: 8:17.37
Mile 3: 8:21.74
Mile 4: 8:30.67
Mile 5: 8:32.51



I walked the rest of the way back to work, about 1/4 mile.

Also, can I say that I ran 5:05 per mile? For the last .86 seconds of course. That's 11.8mph for 14.85 feet! I was so proud of myself!

Gym day tomorrow. 12-mile long run on Saturday.
