Newest Time Trial

One month ago, I did a 10k time trial -- having just gotten back into the gym. Managed a little over 42 minutes for it.

Today was another 10k time trial, this time with a goal of 40:30, which translates to approximately 6:30/mile. Knocked it out of the park, and with negative split! The first 5k was 20:20, and starting at about Mile 4.5 I started slowly cranking up the speed (thanks, treadmill), finishing the second 5k in 19:59 -- a total for the 10k of 40:19! Sweet. Improved my 10k by about 2 minutes, and I think it's actually a PR (unofficially).

Helluva hard run, but I managed to push through. For now, my legs feel fine. It will be interesting to see whether I'm sore tomorrow or Thursday, though.
