Ran an easy mile to warm up then ran 4 miles at half marathon pace then an easy mile to cool down. Ran the first 2 miles at 6:50/mile and they felt good. Third mile was a struggle for some reason. As I approached the mile marker, I was screaming in my head to push through and not take a break. FInished that mile in 6:54 and couldn't resist the urge to take a walking break. Totally weak minded. After a few seconds I started back up. Ran the last mile in 6:41 to make up for the walking break. I really have no idea what happened during the third mile.
