Even though today's weight was the most I have weighed since July 19, I was able to run at a pace faster than any previous runs of 5 or more miles. I did have some motivation, though. We picked up a pizza on the way home from work and I could not wait to get home to eat!
My shins were still a little sore, as were the tops of my feet where they connect to the ankle/leg. It was a cool 61 degrees with a brisk breeze, so I wore a long sleeve shirt for the first time this season. I ran the 5 miles in 41:41, a pace of 8:20. My miles were 8:14 (started too fast), 8:45 (more like it), 8:41 (still good), 8:17 (getting closer to the pizza), and 7:44 (pizza!).
