I don't believe it. I have ran under 11 min in the 2 mile. (Not to toot my own horn.) I ran a 5:20 then a 5:24 mile. I did not belive my time at the finish line, mainly because i was not the very tired. At my next track meet i hope to run under 11:40 and hopefully about 11:33 at state track. I'm a freshman this year and looking to improve my times a lot over the next few years. Smile

This part of the board is all about tooting your own horn. So toot away. Nice job! I'm especially impressed with the steady pace. Could you keep it up for another 1.1 miles? What's your 5-k PR?

Nice race Dillon. There's a difference between being a braggart and getting all excited about having run a good race. I interpreted yours as the getting excited kind. It'a great motivation for you and also those who read about it. Didn't you mean to say that you hope to run under 10:40 at next meet and 10:33 at state, rather than 11:40 and 11:33? Good luck and keep up the good work.

Great job! I don't really know what else to say other than keep up the hard work. Sub eleven is not easy (I know, I've tried), especially because the two mile is a tough race. Good luck getting down to 10:33, and good luck in states (jeez, that's still a month or so away up here in MA)...

PRs: 1000: 3:01 1 Mile: 4:55 2 Mile: 10:55 2009 Goals: Sub 4:50 mile, 2:50 1000 meter, Good first real XC season
