5k in 30 Minutes!

I’m not sure if it’s the pent up energy or the stress I’ve been experiencing lately. Today, I got up to run at 5am and found myself really pushing it. I ran my first round around our 1.5km block and did it in 9 minutes 58 seconds. I finished my 5km in 30 minutes, 26 seconds. It may not be that great for some of you who eat 5Ks for breakfast, but for me, it’s been a year since I’ve ran with such a pace. What’s quite surprising about it is that I couldn’t do this before on the treadmill, and I was able to do it around our subdivision, which is quite hilly. I’ve posted some pictures just so you can see how it looks when I start running and when I stop.
