Five miler

Went out for a medium paced 5 miler this morning in my comfortable, running enhanced (Your brand name here) shoes. Started out fine until I hit the board walk, where looming competition and the 75 yr old runner shadowing me pushed up my pace to a little under sprinting. Ended up running 3 miles at around 6.30 pace and slogging back the rest of the way. It’s going to be tough maintaining some semblance of pace control in the marathon crowds.

Stats:
Miles trained, to date: 13
Marathon time goal: 4.3(repeating of course) hrs
Current forecasted time: 5.6 hrs

Good luck on the training, and the weather,
Andy
