Home 5 Mile Orbit

Getting back to speed has been as slow as the smoke clearing from the skies over Southern California. Sunday, my first attempt to run since the fires hit, proved to be far more difficult. I could not even maintain a 10 minute per mile pace for just 3 miles.

I have run twice outside since then, thankfully improving each time. I completed today's 5 miles with considerable elevation change and an improving pace over the final miles. Still, I have a ways to go to prep myself for the half marathon...now just 10 days away. I must tackle a 10-13 miler over the weekend and at a better pace than my previous attempt.
