Easy 5-mile run

Weather was once again fantastic tonight after work, so I decided to do an easy paced 5-miler.

First mile was done in a very easy 8:15. The remaining splits were:

Mile
2 = 7:56
3 = 7:44
4 = 7:53
5 = 7:39
5.08 = 0:36

Total = 40:05 for 5.08 mile for a 7:53 pace.

I am encouraged by this run especially since I was pretty sore from the previous day's 10-mile run. Usually I don't run the day after a long run, but I was feeling good today, so I just did it.

Hope on Saturday I can do a fast-paced tempo run.

Runners World Quote of the Day:

"Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater."

Emil Zatopek, Olympic gold medalist in 5 km, 10 km, and marathon

Happy running!
