5 Quick Miles at Hains Point

This is a low-mileage week, so I decided to run today's 5 miles as fast as I could.  I wanted to see if I could maintain a fast pace throughout.  Turns out I couldn't.  In the 5th mile I ran out of power, but I was still able to run under my marathon goal pace in the last mile.

And running fast felt good.  I think it gives me a different kind of exercise than the long, slow runs.
