Race Pace

Today, instead of letting my body parts determine my running, I told them what they were going to do! I pushed it from the start, worked out the kinks early, and ignored the pathetic whines from my extremities.

As a result, I was able to maintain a nice pace that is on par with the time I ran my 5K in. I've read a bit of some different pacing for runs - easy, tempo, race, but I haven't paid much attention because I figured I was putting out the effort that was comfortable for my body to handle.

It looks like I've been taking the easy pace; I'll have to research recommended schedules for the different run paces. That said, I know I need to start stepping it up during my morning runs in order to improve.
