I ran 5 miles today in 31:00. I needed to hurry so that I could get to choir practice, so I started out with a 6:48 first mile (3:36, 3:12), followed by miles of 6:05, 5:58, 6:16, 5:53. It was fairly windy, so the effort was actually harder than the pace would indicate. Add in that I am way out of shape, and this really wasn't that easy for me. I guess that I just need to be patient and have faith that things will get better with time. |
