Sub 5 mile(1600) to Start the year.

With My knee feeling a little better on New Years day I thought I would give a nice effort out on the track. Although my knee is still not able to handle any serious training yet, I can still do a short run without too much problems here and there.

I warmed up with a 6:53 mile which was pretty hard in itself, then I did about 20 minutes of dynamic stretching and drills then I was off!

First lap- 74,  feeling good although it felt like a 72
800- 2:28, kept the same pace and knew if I didnt fall off the next lap Ill be sub 5
1200- 3:44-45, Ok, fell off a little and was starting to hurt but I knew I had enough to break 5
Last Lap-  with 200 to go I was at 4:23 and I ran a 35 into finish in 4:58 flat  and was hurting but happy i did it without running for reals in 2months.
