Nike Fuel Mission no.5 (Again! (>_<):

To be honest I wasn't really into it with this particular "Mission" when I started the run. It's "officially" my 10th attempt at it for this year since January (half of which was quite serious), so I'm very much aware of what "numbers" I have to come up with to "overcome" the Mission requirement of 1250 Nike Fuel points in 30minutes (or less), which is as follows: Get a total of at least 3.5 miles (5.6kms)  at an average pace of around 8mins 30secs per mile all in just 30mins of running (and that's to even have a chance). I know for most "avid" runners out there these "numbers" is "nothing". For me though it just seems I can do "nothing" about it (except maybe get bionic legs). Its just so damn "frustrating" especially since I tried adjusting my tempos like speeding up on the 1st mile and slowing down a bit in the second (uhmm..taking 30 second walking breaks), which is normally what I do. But in this particular run (and in my more recent attempts), starting my normal pace of just below 9mins...speeding up on the 2nd mile (I got no second wind). Unfortunately, as expected I don't have enough gas in the 3rd & ½ last mile stretch to reach the total of 3.5miles before the 30mins runs out (>_<)..... 0.5 miles in 3 minutes?!? Anyways, as embarrassing as it looks, here's the result:

I knew as soon as I saw the Sportband  was only at 3.26miles that it was gonna be a "fail" :(
Even without that big "dip" after the 2mi mark (i think I had to slow down and catch my breath for the final mile and half

 Yeah, well, what can I do but try again <sigh> right? \(*_^)/ but on the bright side, I got another 5K below 30minutes with this run!

Go figure!? \(^_^)/ I get one of these when I "fail" (I guess, its one of those "Silver Linings"
