Well, first time under 20:00. I got a 19:44 on Saturday.
My goal for the end of last year was to run under 20 min by the end of the year. I was kind of dissapointed it didn't happen, but only running 3 times in the last 3 months didn't help either. Weird thing is for this run, I was going to go out and so a long slow distance and run around 5 miles (that is long for me). So I start off and stick to the road and was feeling pretty good. I checked my time and speed at around the 2 mile mark and it said I was running a under a 6:30 pace, I couldn't believe it so I said what hte hell, guess I will try adn keep it going for one more. After I finished the 5 k I took it easy getting home, right around a 7:05 pace for the last 2 miles. now I jsut need to learn to go out slower when I actually intend on doing so.
