So I did it yay, I changed up my course a little bit, it requires crossing a 5 lane roadway but at night so not too busy. It lacks sidewalks, but I did it. The last 10 minutes were slower and harder to press on, actually pretty much once I found out I made it halfway I noticed that my speed had actually dropped, it makes sense a few minutes later as I moved uphill but not where my halfway mark is, that area was all flat. I was a little worried when I fest a little cramp in my abdomen. I ran to the end of the block which made my run actually 21 minutes and 20 seconds, I wonder how much more I could have gone on for. I can’t imagine too much more, my calves were burning a bit. My average pace was 7 minutes and 39 seconds /km so 5k would be a little over 38 minutes. My next two sessions go back to intervals, running 5m/8m/5m and 10m/10m but than 22m, 25m, 28m and finally 30m. Hopefully my pace improves a little bit so I can actually cover 5k in 30 minutes. My pace would need to increase to 6 minutes / km. Shaving almost 2 minutes off of my pace seems like quite the task. I was less sweaty than I was expecting to be, I didn’t drink my bottle of water throughout the day as I usually did, the wicking of my shirt seems to work very well, yay. Actually having a clean shirt is nice as well, and I only had to dodge 2 junebugs.

Today was my last day at work, it was sad, I cried a little, feels like I am turning the page and ending a chapter of my life, which I believe I effectively am. I am looking forward to my new job. Should be fun, the unknowns is so scary yet exciting.
