Matt Gets Running

No per­sonal best for the 5K this evening — that still remains at the just-under-31 min­utes I man­aged back in Novem­ber, run­ning as fast as I sus­tain­ably could all the way.

But tonight, I think, was the fastest since then, at 32:26. And con­sid­er­ing I did a nor­mal jog on the way out, then just did some speed­work on the way back, I think that’s pretty encour­ag­ing. I reckon a 30-minute 5K is not far away. I may make that my goal for February.

The way back def­i­nitely seemed a lot quicker than the way out, even though there prob­a­bly was only a minute or so in it. The Run­K­eeper stats seem to be show­ing a grad­ual increase in aver­age pace on these 5K runs as time goes by.

Any­way. That’s enough for now. I might just do a per­fectly nor­mal 5K on Fri­day, just to give myself a bit of a rest :)
