5 miles

Sorry, folks, there is nothing to buy or sell here. **I was not aware 5miles.com was a buying/selling app. Who knew?!? Not that I'm suggesting it...

Anyway, this is just a plain old post noting I managed to log a 5-mile run again. Apparently the first one since mid-April. 

I went out with the wife yesterday and we planned to jog 5 and walk 1. Of course, last weekend we intended to go longer than the 2.6, but I developed pain in my right lower leg and had to walk back home.

Yesterday was good though. We did the 5 at just under an 11-minute pace, and then walked another 1.4 miles back to the house. It was a gorgeous day, and made me feel like a marathon might be possible again this year. Though I did still have the chest pain for the first couple miles, I felt GREAT at the end.

For the record, I did manage a couple 5ks during the week finishing around a 10-minute pace.

So, we will have to see how it goes. It is time to start marathon training for the year if I'm going to do one, so I'll need to keep this up. Meh, whatever.
