1st 5 Mile Run

Before I get to the 5 miler, Saturday I ran 1 1/2 miles in 13 min., that's an 8:40 Mile! That's an improvement, however, it was kind of a weak (short) run.

Today, I went out with my brother, and we said we'd run 4 miles. And of course we reach mile 2 (the turn around point) and he says, "C'mon man, let's run one more." And he proceeds to run past the point. I, of course, follow him going, "Yeah, I can do another..." As we turn the corner there stood the biggest hill we had yet to climb, ouch. However, we got up it and then back down the hill. Funny thing about downhills, is you always have to go back up. Thankfully, the slope back over the hill was not as steep. The 1st couple miles we did sub 9, then it slowed down significantly. All in all, it was a good run. We ran 5 miles in 49 min.
