It was very windy. I slept in just a bit, did PT, started on my W. Peoria 5.3 mile course. I got 3.2 miles into it (right when you turn onto the brick streets) and the discomfort was on the verge of becoming pain. So I spent 3:30 stretching, then finished the walk; I counted the walk as 2 walks.
Now, had I added the 3:30 to the total time I would have had 5.27 miles in 1:18:20, or a 14:52 pace. I was a bit disappointed that I felt the need to stretch, but am happy with the total work at pace I got in; it was very windy and somewhat chilly.
I am simply not ready for the “5 miles straight” yet; 5K straight is doable.
