Slow 5 Miler

i started out a little later than i wanted, but i had to run. i started out right at 7pm, but i knew the road i was going to be on after dark would not have much traffic. it was warm but not hot or humid. when i started out, my legs and back felt so tight. it took me nearly 4 miles to feel like i was warmed up and loose. i was also keeping the pace a little slower because i was wanting to do some hills towards the end of the run. i was really wanting to do more hills, but these are the biggest i know of around here. i ran them, turned around and finished on the last hill. they were pretty tough. i never hurt any where, but i just felt tight most of the run. my time was pretty slow at 55.21, right at 11:04 min/mile. i thought it was slow, but i didn't think i was going that slow. my pace was pretty close on every mile. here are my splits:

.5= 5.22 153
1.0= 10.54 5.32 167
1.5= 16.26 5.32 166
2.0= 22.01 5.35 166
2.5= 27.41 5.39 168
3.0= 33.20 5.39 166
3.5= 38.52 532 169
4.0= 44.27 5.35 169
4.5= 49.49 5.21 168
5.0= 55.21 5.32 172

my left hip started hurting this afternoon. i am not sure why, but i hope it goes away. supposed to do weight training tonight, but i don't really feel like it, maybe i will do a little before bed.

the thought of the day: "Love everyone, trust a few, do harm to no one." -Shakespeare i like the quote but when writing it i realized something else. how would it feel if everyone knew you just by your last name (eg Shakespeare). how about that guy who was a great runner, yeah you know...Sykes. (if anyone ever uses that quote in time, it will probably be for my brother, not me).
