5K

Workout 6 May 2009:

Run 5K

Results: 26'06 (outdoors)
Previous best: 23'42 (outdoors, 22 Jul 07)

I knew going in that my time today would be nothing special. Is that a defeatist attitude? Maybe, I also know my limits. It's been nearly a year since I last ran a 5K outside. Between now and then, I ran three or four 5Ks on a treadmill (incline at 1%), and those times were in the 22-24 minute range, but a treadmill and outdoor running are two different beasts. I'll probably do another run in 3-4 weeks and hope to see about a minute improvement.
