I did not run today but walked about 3 hours across the Brookfield Zoo. It was a fun day and I was admittedly hung over from the night before so it worked out well.

I started out with 3 very fast miles and realized that I was pushing to hard and wouldn't be able to finish at that pace. I slowed it down and came in easy today.

Nice and easy morning run today after yesterday's push

It was a swift but easy run today where I hit the faster end of my mile times while still having breath to spare when I finished.

It was a nice and easy morning run today. Little did I know that I would be laid off today as well! On the bright side, this can only help my training though.

I started running at the beginning of the year after being sedentary for almost a year prior. I've built my miles back up so now I'm running 5 miles a day for 5-6 days a week. My times have improved as well to the point that I can run an average comfortable mile at 8.5 minutes but range from 7.5 - 9.5 depending on the day. Today I did pretty well running 5 miles in just under 40 minutes.

I have not run a 5K in quite some time but I would say I could get it done in 23 minutes. Oops ... I meant to say 5K sorry!
