Record 5 Mile Run

Was tired this morning, so figured I'd run in the evening. Front was coming in so had to try to squeeze in the run, decided to do a fast 5 mile run. 5 miles in 42:36, 8:31 average pace, 169 average heart rate. Splits of 8:39, 8:12, 8:24, 8:48 and 8:32. Took a small walk break shortly after the 3 mile mark, then another short break during the final mile when my stomach was feeling a bit iffy. Was pretty windy out, and the final mile I was with a pretty good rain coming down. Overall a good run, perhaps some day I can get down to 8:00 pace for a 5 mile run, record 5 mile run by nearly 2 mintues. The 3.1 mile time was just over 26 minutes, and the 4 mile split was 34:04. The 4 mile split was a record for 4 miles, so moving pretty good.
