Midweek Run

3 miles total for tonight's running.  10:45 mile with Chief dog.  2 miles in 14:54 or 7:27 min/mile tempo pace.  7:27 min/mile just happens to be my "5k pace", or more specifically, the fastest pace I've run a 5k race thus far.  With lots of gas still in the tank, I felt like I could have pushed a third mile at 6:30 pace mile to end on which would have been around a 21:30 5k.  I was not running all out by any means, breathing was comfortable.  My legs felt the effort more than my cardiovascular system.  I held back the desire to set an unofficial PR in the interest of tapering down for the week.  I'm thinking my 10k "race pace" is around 7:30, which means again that I've been racing my 5k races at 10k paces.  Interesting.
