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.

12:16 Thinking about Lost, wishing I was watching tonight's episode instead of putting off going to the gym. #

13:37 STOP THE PRESS! GNC chocolate caramel protein powder actually tastes good! #

15:10 Back from the gym #

20:10 After 13 hours, I'm going home. Hurry, hurry, gotta watch Lost! Oh wait, it's been DVR'ed *AND* Tivo'ed, and will soon be on the computer. #

20:10 Mmmm, burning Tivo'ed shows to DVD a year before they're released. #

20:34 Is it racist to find the heavily accented Indian cashier humming along to country music humorous? #
