CIM Training Week 2, Day 3: 5 miles

After yesterday's run, I had a thought: what if my running was suffering, not from lack of fitness, but because of fear? Fear that I might reinjure myself, fear that my ankle would hurt if I ran any further. There was only one way to find out.

Today, I decided to run hard, a tempo pace, not quite race pace. My goal was to run around 9 minutes per mile the whole way.





While I didn't quite make that goal, I nailed it!

Splits
Mile 1: 9:05
Mile 2: 9:13
Mile 3: 9:42
Mile 4: 9:59
Mile 5: 10:08

5 miles (walked .24 miles), 48:08, 9:37/mi, average active HR: 158, 574 calories burned
