5.5 miles in the morning 9.5 miles in the evening after supper. warmed up for a few miles then did a 5k on the track. i had a watch but the light doesn't work and it was too dark to read it. So i just started it and ran what i thought was no slower than 6:00 pace. it was different not being able to check splits. whenever i thought i was slowing i would have to focus more. i finished strong and stopped the watch and ran over too some light to see what the watch said. i was pleasantly surprised to see 17:58 i guess that the dissadvantage of knowing my splits is that if i am running too fast then i can just slow up a little. not being able to see splits i just kept pushing. im sure i didn't miss count my laps so i am happy. i usually run in the mid 17's on out and back 5Kraces. to run under 18:00 by myself on the track in the dark is pretty good.
