5 Mile Treadmill Run in 39:47

5 Mile Treadmill Run in 39:47

I had not run since last Tuesday because of a pretty rough 36 hour stomach bug that I came down with on Wednesday afternoon. I am now fully over the bug, so I went for a 5 mile run after waking up this morning. I started the treadmill off slow (7.0), but then realized after about 2 miles that I wanted to finish the 5 mile run under 40 minutes. To do this, I upped the speed up quickly and barely made it under th 40 minute mark. I ended up finishing the 5 mile run in 39:47 for an average pace of 7:57/mile. According to nikeplus I burned 690 calories.
