I always struggle on whether I should log something as fast or not.  I did 5 miles in 45 min.  

I felt great!

I ran outside--it is 40 today, sunny, and all the snow is melting.  It is the first time I've run outside in a long time. My foot felt awesome--I noticed that I use my feet differently when NOT on the treadmill.  I have been trying to push off more on the treadmill, but today I was pushing off because I was running normally.

I planned on doing 4 miles and then I felt good enough to do 5.  Thought about going 6 but 1) I didn't want to push it--these 5 miles are more than 1/2 of the average miles I've done the past 3-4 weeks.  and 2) my husband wanted to go out to get a good seat at the KC's for the Super Bowl.  so I decided 5 was enough.

This was a good motivation--now I need to carry it over during the week.

It's great that you were able to get out.

I often wonder about whether to log things as fast or slow miles. I think I rarely do anything that really qualifies as fast, but I figure that anything that is not my slow, easy pace is fast to me.
