To say I'm a little bit surprised I ran all five miles is a bit of an understatement. About 2.25 miles in I didn't know if I'd be able to run all five, but I pushed through and managed to keep going. What was even more suprising to me was the pace I ran it at. When I ran two miles earlier this week, my pace was 12 minutes per mile, so to have a faster pace at this much longer distance surprised me considerably. I was expecting a 12:30 or 13:00 minutes per mile pace.
Five miles is by far the most I've ever ran at one time in my entire life. My previous record was the two miles I did earlier this week, so to get all five miles in without stopping to walk was a big accomplishment for me.
The trail up at Kearny was nice. I'd never ran it before, and I liked it. There were some rolling hills, but nothing super-steep like here around our house. I'll definitely go up there again.
