Notes
Was shooting for 7:14 pace on the five miles tempo. First mile was tough as I was still warming up a bit, so it felt challenging to stretch it out much. Then I felt like I was able to get into a decent groove. Had moments where I was running under the 7:14 pace, but could not hold it for very long. Had a very slight hill leading up to the turn-around of the run which probably slowed me down a little for that mile, but overall it felt good to have a change in terrain even for just a short bit. Continued to feel good but not great on the way home, and was running well, just could never pick it up that last little bit. Overall, very pleased with the run and with the effort. Need to remember to stretch more often!
