Tonight I beat my Official 5k PR by about a minute. I also beat my fastest 5k training run and managed to pull off a negative split run that i'm kinda proud of at this moment. I walked to the end of my driveway at about 9:50 pm and just decided to go for it. I had a bunch of stress and garbage built up inside and I thought I'd try to blow off some steam with a good hard run - the next best thing to running for a couple hours, which wasn't going to happen at that hour.I'll admit, There was some strategy during the run and I used a couple downhills to make up for the slow first mile and the big uphill at the end. I had a major stitch for almost the whole run because my stomach was kinda full from dinner and I drank a bunch of water right before I left. My splits were 7:27, 7:14, 6:47, 1:21. I don't recall running a sub 7 mile except for last year when I did a 1 mile test in the middle of a run on this same route. That's exciting to me. It was about 44 degrees, mostly clear skies, wet roads, and a headwind for the way out and tailwind coming back. I'm very pleased with this run. I'd like to stretch out this pace for longer runs in the future and I know it will take a lot of work. I'm in.
