Ended up going to the gym again...it has been so hot that even at 7:30 it is still too warm for a run outside to sound good. Got to watch a few innings of the Reds game while I did my 3 miles. Was able to keep the treadmill set at a 12-minute mile and it was fine. I guess some days are just better than others...I just feel like I've hit a plateau and I'm not getting any stronger or faster.
Oh well...Saturday will be the test, I'm running in a charity 5K for the Clark County Literacy Coalition. I don't have any time goals, since I haven't run a 5K since last summer, but I'm hoping that I'm at least as fast if not faster than I was then. If I take my half-marathon pace of around an 11-minute mile, then I should come in at just over 33 minutes, which would be a PR. And if I go faster (my hard-effort 2-mile runs have been around 10:30 per mile) then maybe I can even break 33 minutes.
OK, maybe I have a time goal after all... =)
