I’m late posting, but this happened on Saturday:
5.3 miles nonstop (treadmill, due to end-of-days-style rain) in 60 minutes
First 5 miles in 56:45
- Miles 1 & 2: 11:30 pace
- Mile 3: 11:00 pace
- Mile 4: 10:50 pace
- Mile 5: 11:00 pace
- Last 0.3: 11:30 pace
I ran like a granny for the last half-mile or so due to knee ouchiness. But the knees felt surprisingly good most of the way through, probably because of the easy pace. It was quite an enjoyable/sweaty run.
Stopping was also enjoyable.
The run was followed by my dad’s engagement dinner, where I devoured the following: bread, Caesar salad, giant pancetta-wrapped scallops, some kind of orzo side, some sort of devil cake that was completely drenched in Bailey’s and two grapefruit mimosas.
It was a solid day.
