Marathon Practice

I think I've shared this before but this here is my 2.5 mile course around the subdivision. This course has killed me twice so far and after doing the math I think the reason is obvious. As usual, I'm running too hard. My time today was 21:02 for 2.5 miles. Thats an 8.4 minute mile and about 7 miles an hour. There is no way I could or should be able to do that pace this early in the game. I have also came up with a different 5 mile run.

This running thing sucks. As soon as I am able to check off running a marathon, these running shoes are going in the trash.
