CIM Training Week 5, Day 2: 5 Miles

As a followup on yesterday's entry, I called Rodale today and cancelled both the Runner's World calendar and my Runner's World subscription. The more I think about it, the more I realize it was the right decision. When I asked for a refund of the unfulfilled issues, they said there was only $2 left. Come to find out, it's renewal time.

Renewal time? But I didn't receive a renewal notice! That's right, they said it's auto-renewal. Auto-renewal with credit card charge. I wasn't going to receive a renewal notice, just a similar postcard stating the renewal was automatic.

So goodbye, Runner's World. I've been a tad unhappy with them lately anyway content-wise, so I'm not too worried about it. There are enough online resources to fill the gap.

Meanwhile, today was a 5-miler, originally tagged as a recovery run, but you know what? I was recovered. I felt recovered, I wasn't sore, things were great. So I ran as well as I could.





Splits
Mile 1: 8:54
Mile 2: 8:54
Mile 3: 9:10
Mile 4: 9:09
Mile 5: 9:14

5 miles, 45:23, 9:05/mi average, 558 calories burned
