Pseudo 5k

According to my training schedule, I am supposed to run a 5k this weekend. Unfortunately, there are no 5k's this weekend in DC. So, today I decided to run 3.1 miles at a faster pace on the treadmill. Kind of a race against myself. I started out with a 10 min/mile pace and then for the last two miles I ran at a 9.1 min/mile pace. I was definitely breathing hard but it felt great when i was done! Yesterday was a rest day due to not being able to get to the gym between being in Maryland most of the day and then going to a concert at the Birchmere last night.
