Split 1 – office down to the Lake = 03:18.2
Split 2 – Lake 1st mile = 07:53.0
Split 3 – Lake 2nd mile = 08:11.6
Split 4 – Lake 3rd mile = 08:07.9
Split 5 – Lake last bit (.1 mile) = 01:13.1
Split 6 – stretch = 03:40.7
Split 7 – lake to office = 03:30.0

time (incl stretch, warm up, cool down) = 35:54.5
time (incl warm up, cool down) = 32:13.9; pace 08:15.5

3 mile time = 24:12.5; pace = 08:04.2
5k time = 25:25.7; pace = 08:12.1

Since this is the first time I've really been serious about timing myself I'm actually surprised. Do I normally run this fast? In any case, I have been challenging myself more now that I see the numbers, so that is good and actually working. I need to make sure I keep this consistent. I had a lot on my mind to keep me occupied as well today and it went by quickly. Another sunny, breezy CA day!

This weekend I am going to try to do a longer run, as in a 90-120 minute run. Since I didn't do my designated runs for this week (3 x 4 mile lunch runs, plus one 6-7 miler after work) I am not sure what to do with the weekend.
