Better 5K

I re-ran my 5K "tempo" run last night. I'm still pretty sure it doesn't count as a tempo run. I basically ran 5K as fast as a thought I could. I broke my 25 minute goal with a time of 24:52 :) I still think I could do it faster, because I think I started out to slow. But non the less, it wasn't that long ago that running 10 minute miles just exhausted me. So that's progress.

Having said all this, I must remind my readers, if there are any, that the run was done on a treadmill set at a 1.5% incline. It's still below 0 in Minneapolis, with windchills coming close to -30. I'm not running outside when then windchill is 62 degrees below freezing! It should warm up --all the way to the 20s-- by the weekend, so I shifted my long run to Saturday. Hopefully I can run it outside.
