2 mile warm up and then a 5k time trial. Started out pretty slow with an 89 second first lap. I ended up running 5:51, 5:53, and 5:55 for a 17:40 3 mile and then finished the 5k in 18:23.

The first 7 laps felt really good and the last 5 started to get pretty tough. I never got into a good rhythm for this run. I really need to get back in budesonide too.

I feel like my fitness is coming back kind of slow, and also I'm a little surprised I was able to break 5 in the mile but can't break 18 in the 5k. Running takes patience though. And 5k has never been strong distance for me, but I'll get there. I think maybe I should run sub 11 for a 2 mile and sub 2:15 for a 800m over the next few days. Then it'll be time to start doing some bigger workouts every now and then. I need to do 8-10x400m with 90-120 seconds rest at 69-71 for the mile and mile repeats and 5x1000ms for the 5k. I also want to run a sub 38 10k later this month.
