Five on the 4th.

I set out for a five mile run yesterday morning and to be honest I was a little nervous. Before the injury I would run three six mile runs a week plus a long run but five miles intimidated me as a "short" run even though I have already done a long run of eight miles and have a ten miler this weekend. It was a little warm and I could definitely tell that people were taking advantage of the holiday to sleep in as I only recalls seeing one person which is rare. Afterwards I showered, ate and then walked another quarter mile or so with my wife and our kids in the neighborhood parade which made for a fun extra cool down.

My plan was to run four more miles today but it was a late night and I have a lot of work to get done because of the shortened week and needed to get into the office early today so I decided to run four on Friday instead.

5 miles in 40:49
