5 Mile Cool Run

Cool out and felt pretty fresh, so pushed it a bit this morning. Ran up at the lake while Judy biked. 5 miles in 46:35, average pace of 9:19, splits of 9:48, 9:29, 9:41 (1 minute walk/water break), 9:16 and then kicked it in a bit for the last mile and run 8:20. I was planning on pushing it harder the last mile, but after a bit of running fast I looked down at the garmin and was shocked to see I had only ran .2 miles, so I had to slow down a bit, heh. Average heart rate of 164, with a 173 average for the last mile. Felt pretty good, at time when I was running fast it felt like I was getting pulled along by momentum. Day off tomorrow, then 8 on Thursday. Fastest 5 mile run in nearly a year.
