Day 88: 5mi, 44:11

Back on the treadmill tonight. My times are steadily improving over the past few weeks, but still far behind where I was a month or so ago (42:27 on day 58, e.g.), and also a lot slower than I was on Sunday (day 86) . Not quite sure what is going on. Felt reasonably good at the beginning, although my back has been bothering me all day, but felt tired and slow by the end. I guess that is my aerobic capacity talking. I really felt like running faster, not slowing down, as the miles wore on. I felt like I needed to dig deeper, rather than let my HR dictate a slower pace. But I stuck with the program. My splits:
mile 1: 7:54
mile 2: 8:06
mile 3: 8:44
mile 4: 9:27
mile 5: 10:00.0
HR t+1: 130
HR t+5: 105
