Slow 5 miler today. A week ago today, I ran my fastest 5 miler, but I decided I would run this one slow. I tried to put my pace on cruise control and just run for the fun of it. (If there is anything such thing as running for fun.) No pressure of time. No need to feel like I needed to push to make any progress in my running.
As usual, Mile 1 was a little fast at 8:32. Then 9:10, 9:28, and 9:06 - just cruising. Then came Mile 5, and I gave in and pushed a little at the end. It was my fastest mile of the run by 1 second. Total time: 44:46. Pace: 8:57.
