Today is the last day of school for the year. My 8th graders already graduated, but the rest of the school finishes today. I am going out to breakfast with my co-teachers, then cleaning my classroom and having meetings all day. Thus I figured I'd better run this morning, since I knew the weather would be nice, and I figured I wouldn't feel like it this evening.
My first mile and a half I felt SO GOOD. No pain anywhere, beautiful sky and sunshine, cool temperatures, and a quick pace- I could tell. Then I couldn't sustain it. My time overall for a 5K today was 38 minutes, which isn't so terrible, considering I did 10 minutes total of warm up and cool down walking. Looking at the graph, though, I can see that all my speed was in the beginning, then I tapered off. I need to get a little more consistent, or learn how to regulate my pace. I was told about a website that will convert your running pace (say, 11 minute mile) into a beats per minute pace, and give you a list of songs that will keep you are the right pace/beat. I think I need to look into that.
