5 miles today (the longest distance for my "short" runs). Taking the hour of PTO was totally worth it. I got to sleep in, get in my run and still make it to work on time. The weather has been getting better too!

My pacing was much better than my run on Tuesday. Only 27 seconds between my fastest and slowest splits. I kept my strides short and quick on this run. At my first 5 minute check in I thought I was going faster than what the time said, but I was still pleased with a 9:34 at mile 1. My overall pace ended up being 9:35.

Next up is a 12 mile run on Saturday. Hopefully I can work on slowing down a bit and maintaining a good pace with tighter splits.

25 more runs to go!
