Today I finally got back below 17 minutes! The weather was perfect this morning, a breezy 50 degrees at the start and clear skies. Started out in a 5:17, felt really easy though, i thought for sure I'd be around 5:45 or so, but sure enough I hit that first mile right where I needed to be. Second mile was 5:46, as I came through in 11:03. I have some doubt as to the accuracy of this second mile marker though. I think it was long, because I closed the last 1800 meters in 5:50, which means I ran a 5:10-5:14 third mile. Although I did pick it up, I dont know if I had picked it up that much. Regardless, I crossed in 16:53, my third fastest time ever and this year's season best. When I first saw the finish line, I thought for sure I was going to PR because the clock was at 16:12 and I had about three blocks to go. Turns out, those were a long three blocks as I didnt quite get the PR. Nonetheless I am super happy with this run. Now it is time to focus my attention towards the Sioux City Half Marathon on October 17--My goal race for the fall.
