Is it time to run yet?

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.

A Disappointing 5K

I ran a hard 5K today in 25:40 not nearly as good as I'd have hoped.
Here are the splits 4:41, 4:50, 4:59. 5:35, 5:36 (km).
My guess is I'm not ready for 7:30 miles so I shouldn't start out that fast.
The weather was good, 61F overcast, just about perfect.
The only way I'm going to hit my 23 min 5K next week is if I find a path that's all down hill. Maybe I should reevaluate my goals.

    Ensure!!!111!!!

    Don't worry about your 23 minute 5k. Focus on your medium distance runs and put in the time, and the rest will take care o itself.
