Today was an increase of my moderate-distance run to 5 miles. I was going to run with my running club, and actually planned on it, but when I got home from work, I just wanted to get the run out of the way and not sit around waiting for an hour and a half for them. So I headed out to the river trail and ran 5 miles.
It was a hot afternoon, and I believe that that was what affected me the most. I brought water with me, but I just couldn't seem to feel comfortable in my run. Of course, I did do the near 10-minute pace again, like last Tuesday, which kept my heart rate above 160 for most of the run. It seemed a long run, but I completed it in 55 minutes, including warmup and cooldown, so it really wasn't that long. It sure felt that way though. No pain running today. I did a few sprints in Mile 5, running over half of it at about an 8 minute pace, the rest was dog-slow.
