5 Mile Treadmill Run in 38:42

I wanted to get in another nice run today, but didn't really feel all that great or up to doing a full 10K on back-to-back days. So, I decided to run 5 miles. Part of the decision was that Scott and I have an active challenge where we were supposed to run 100 miles by Jan 31st. I was at 89.08, so I wanted to put in a good clip so that I have a shot at breaking the mark over the next couple of days. I started the run off pretty quick and ended up running the last mile at 10.0. Felt pretty darn great by the end. I think that thoughts about a nice shower helped me finish hard. I ended up completing the 5.00 mile run in 38:42 for an average pace of 7:43/mile. The Nike Plus website says that I burned 690 calories.
