Ran a 10k loop during my lunch break.

Took it easy for the first 5k, 22:15 then picked it up for the second in 19:15.  Felt really good today.

That's a nice run, you must be having great weather right now.

That's a nice little pickup 5k for you. Your playing around at lunch is a bit faster than my pr.

You should run the 15K on Saturday! I see you don't have a goal for that one...and it's even at you time of day - 10am :o)

I'm actually considering it now that you mentioned it.

The hesitancy on my part is that I haven't done any runs that long for at least a couple of months. My endurance is fairly weak.

On the other hand, since I have no expectations, I may do it and just treat it as a hard training run. Go out around 6 minute pace and see how I feel. I will decide soon.

I nearly fell out of my seat when I read this. Second 5K in 19:15! Very, very close to 18 minutes for the 5K! Then I remembered you are not aiming for an 18 minute 5K time eventually...but rather a 16 minute 5K. Okay, I am recovered. You referencing the miles as Marathon Pace miles got me back on track. Good run.

nice 3 minute negative split, that is where sub 16 comes, in the 2nd half of the race. anyone can go out in 5:00, it takes that kinda pacing to hit 5:05-5:10 the last mile. keep it up!
