Side note---I've decided I like Gatorade much more than Powerade. Although they are essentially the same.Of course what you can do in the midst of training versus after a month of laziness are two separate things. Today I was in the midst of training, and today I ran 6 miles in 59:02! I just set the treadmill at 6.0 (10 min/mi) and cranked it up to 8.3 (7-something min/mi) on the last lap. I'm at a point where I really don't know what pace my body can maintain for extended periods of time. Could I handle 6.1 or 6.2? Probably, but 6.0 seemed like a safer option to make this goal a reality. As soon as I completed a mile, I knew that I was going for a sub one hour (six mile) run today! I felt mentally and physically ready to do it. Yesterday I ran 3 miles in 28:24.
It's still a little strange for me to care so much about times. But, if I want to get faster, this is essential.

I have run one 10k before. I had never run more than 4 miles at that point and was nervous about the 10k. However, I somehow ran it in 61 minutues. My goal was around 60 minutues so I was pleased. You can do it! I achieved my 5k in under 30 minutues time goal today!
That's awesome!! I hope some day i am able to do this too. :)
NICE! I totally believe that 90% of running is mental. The other 90% is totally physical.
I'm with you on the G. The poweraid makes my mouth sticky
