Good run, it has been crazy the past week or so with missions. Things should get into a good schedule now...finally!

A good run, got back into it today. I worked out my back yesterday in the gym, and thought I would be sore...I was so I didn't quite go the full 4 miles today.

So today I was feeling pretty good and decided to let go and see how fast I could push myself on a five mile run. Granted I didn't go all out, but since I have been running at 8:30 pace the last few weeks, I wanted to see how I could do. I ended up running it in 37:00 exactly with my last mile at a 6:40 pace. Like I said, I wasn't giving it my all, but I was happy with that time and felt good about a 6:40 mile as my last mile. Tomorrow will be a slower recovery run.

So i wasn't planning on running this far, but I just kind of pushed through that mental wall and got in a good distance run (for me right now anyways). I set the pace quite a bit slower than normal, 9:00, and put the iPod on the Tabernacle Choir and was off. I felt really good and my heart rate didn't get above 163. A good run though, definitely felt the high afterwards! My longest since leaving the states too.
