S7H.

Noon @ YMCA. WU 1.5 mile, WD 0.5 mile.

Ran 5K @ 7:13" pace (PR).

Legs = 90%, heart = 93-95%, mind = 95%.

Finished in much better shape than three weeks ago when I ran 3 miles at 7:16" pace (I was totally exhausted at the end of that run). Legs & heart just seems a little bit stronger this time, and that made it easier on the mind (Less negative thought). Ran mostly at controlled hard/threshold effort. Could speed up on last 400m but chose not to. Good recovery from poor Saturday run. Very encouraging.

Hopefully in 3 more months I can run 3 miles at 6:55" pace.

Congratulations on a PR. Nice to see that your endurance is alreay improving. You could probably do close to 7:00 pace now if you felt you had a kick left at the end. Try it again Thursday to see how long you can hold the 7:00 pace for. Ideally, see if you can find a faster friend that could pace you.
