Two and a Half Miles

I signed up for a 5K on October 27th .  I discovered a friend of mine has also started running back in July. He was signed up for this 5k, his first as well. It is earlier than I expected, but I think I can do it.

Yesterday, I ran 2.5 miles in 27:11, so a 10:56 pace.  I have 8 training days until then. Seven training days prior, I ran 1.7 miles at a 11:58 pace, so I figure I could at least do the 5K in under 34 minutes (10:56 pace). My minimum goal for the Turkey Trot is 32 minutes (10:18 pace), but my stretch goal is under 30 minutes (9:39 pace). I have 11-12 training sessions in between the 5Ks.
