It was 38 degrees outside, but not too windy, so I decided to run outside today instead of on the treadmill. I wasn't sure how far I wanted to run, but as I approached the 4 mile mark I was feeling pretty good so I decided to continue to 5 miles out before I turned around to come back. By the time mile 8 rolled around I felt a little twinge in my left knee so I took a 30 second break to stretch and then continued on. I took another short (15 second?) break at mile 9 at the traffic light on Elden Street. Other than that I ran non-stop with my mid-foot strike and liked it.
Excluding my short breaks I duplicated my time in the Army Ten-Miler from last October. I think that's pretty good considering the temperature today and the fact that I'm new to this running style.
