1 mile warmup, 3 firm (6:39,6:30,6:20), and then 3 home slowly. I almost stetched it out to 3.1 to see if I could break a 20min 5k for the first time in 8 years. I think I'm there, having run on somewhat tired legs. Hopefully I can achieve this at some point this Spring. Meanwhile, just trying stay consistent. Winter is not my favorite time for running.

Race: Virtual 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:19:48

Ran a 5k on my own in 19:48. This is the first time I've broken 20min since August 17th, 2013. Ran mile 1 in 6:29, mile 2 in 6:18, decided to push it at this point for a full 3.1 and did mile 3 in 6:25, and did a final burst @ 5:56 for the last .1 mile.

First sub-20 as a 50-year-old. May run a Half Marathon in March. Hope to get a steady 6 weeks in before then. 

(This was actually on the 28th, but I don't want to change the post)
