The intent in last night's workout at the Y was to run another 5K. The legs were rubbery and sluggish - still feeling the effects of the outdoor 10K run two days earlier. I did set out faster at the start and achieved a good time compared to my typical first mile. The 2nd mile was taxing, though and not much faster. I stopped when the 2nd mile was done and then walked a mile to cool down.

Mile 1 pace: 11:01 min/mile
Mile 2 pace: 10:37 min/mile
Total time: 21:44
Overall average pace: 10:49

Besides the 'need more hills in my workouts' thing, what I learned from the outdoor, GPS tracked run is that my fitness tracker appears to do a fairly good job at estimating distance indoors. My pace & time per mile was comparable both indoors and out. I'd say that it is more likely that the Y's indoor track is 17 laps per mile (as my Garmin says) - not the 16 laps per mile claimed by the Y.
