5.53 miles in 46:46 for an average pace of 8:27/mile and average heart rate of 158bpm (169bpm max). Cloudy and 72 degrees and 3 pounds of sweat lost. I tried to go fast the whole time, but the first mile and the last partial were hard. These were my splits: 9:12, 8:18, 8:17, 8:02, 8:14, and 8:56 pace for the last half. I was looking back at history and I had this pace back on June 13. The lack of improvement is disappointing. Nothing to do except keep trying.
