After my typical weekend off from running I ran five miles in each of the past two days at 7:03 pace. To say that pace feels comfortable would not be accurate, although once I get into a rhythm (typically a few minutes into the run) it definitely feels manageable. This is also not much slower than I have ever done my treadmill runs, and those ones were definitely shorter (i.e. four miles). I think I am going to keep my five mile runs at this pace for at least a couple of weeks, although I am interested to see how I handle four miles at a sub-7:00 pace. I am heading to California for work tomorrow, so I am hoping to get it an outdoor run on the trip (probably in the Los Angeles area on Friday). With the temperatures in the teens here and given how much of a wimp I am I do not foresee running outside in the Chicago area anytime soon.
