Now that the weather is becoming a bit warmer my training has gotten more consistent. Today I knocked out my fifth run of the week, a quick five miler. I was feeling better than I was expecting early in the run considering this was my fourth run in five days, so I decided to push the pace more than usual. When I hit the 2.5 mile turnaround my average pace was pretty consistent with the 7:25-7:30ish I have been running the last few weeks at this distance, which was a bit disappointing given the fact I felt like I was working harder than usual. But then I knocked out the third mile in 7:17 and the fourth in 7:01–I must have had a headwind as I ran south the first half of the run. I slowed down to 7:28 in the last mile, but the overall pace of 7:19 was my fastest since I started up my training again by 0:04, which was a good feeling. I know I shouldn’t be obsessing about my pace, but I have to admit I was starting to worry a bit about not getting faster as quickly as I would like. I am also on Strava now, so you can follow every one of my workouts on there if you are really interested (or really bored)...
