5 Mile Easy Run

Wasn't sure if I was going to run this morning, as my back was still sore Monday, but woke up Tuesday and things felt pretty good. I got up late so I didn't 'go' before getting out the door, so figured I'd have to go when I got out and running. 5 miles in 52:30, not counting the bathroom break. Average pace of 10:30, AHR of 147. Started at the restaurant, ran south, then north to the soccer field on the inside loop, past the bathrooms, then returned to the resaurant, stopping for a bathroom break. Splits of 11:15, 11:10, 11:09, 10:59 and 7:56. AHR for the last mile was 164, max of 169, so pretty good considering that I was pushing it. VERY nice out, 54F otu and a dewpoint of 49F, with no wind. Bottle up this day and save it for a marathon.
