Campus Six -- Thu. May 29

Feeling worn enought that I wasn't sure if I'd do this, but by 7 felt ready enough -- aiming for somewhere between endurance and stamina (6:50~7:40). Did the extension of the figure of eight 5-miler that I found a few weeks ago (April 30). Started nice and brisk, and managed to keep a good sub-7 for the first three miles, but then the uphill pull added a minute; felt sore after mile 4, but plugged away trying to get at around 8.5 or 7s. Here's the score:

Time: 43:18
Distance: 6.11 miles
Speed: 8.5 mph

Comment: managed to average out dead-on pace wise, but that's still not my official stamina pace. I think the difference is my lack of condition - -I don't feel ready for a 10K even, right now, let alone a half, but I know that witha couple more good distance weeks I'll get back to it. Next run should be endurance and double digits, maybe Sat p.m., unless I'm still sore. The numb-leg problem came back at about 5.5 miles, so I'm still in that. Not sure how to get through it other than build up little by little and hope.
