5 miles - jensen park/bluff trail - 7:57 avg
splits: 7:43, 7:42, 7:45, 8:23, 8:13 - i started off at what for me is a good pace (slightly better than half marathon pace) for the first three miles, but then crashed hard after that. excuses are as follows: 1) very poor sleep 2) hot - i started the run at 10:30 am. 3) age - i'm nearly half a century old! and, 4) genetic endowment, of which speed was not included.
i'm still happy with the effort as it indicates that i've gained a little more fitness over the last couple of months as i work to dig myself out of the lethargy i've rutted myself into.
