5 Mile Zippy Run

5 miles up at the lake, starting at the restaurant and heading up to the sailboat cove and back. Decided to push it a little, but not too much. 44:45 total time for a pace of 8:57, 20 seconds off my 5 mile record, but heart rate was 162 while during the record 5 mile run my average heart rate was 169, so much better. Splits of 9:38, 8:49, 9:10 (included a water/walk break), 8:52 and 8:14. Heart rate for the final mile was 169, so was pushing it there, but wasn't running all out. 3 mile run or walk Thursday or Friday and the the marathon this weekend. Legs are feeling good.
