Notes
Just ran a mile tonight! I got third place, behind two of my training partners. I took the early lead through 209 meters in 34 then was passed into a comfortable third through 409 in 67, 609 in 1:40, 809 in 2:15, 1009 in a PR 2:48. Then it started to get hard and lapping people I slipped back a couple steps from the leaders M and N. Passed 1209 in 3:23, with no concept of if that is good or bad, 1409 in 3:58, just gunning for a sub 32. Alas, my legs were heavy and I'm crediting myself with 4:31.2! Wow! Overall it felt very aerobic and comfortable. I drafted well. Set an earl pace to set the tone. Good race! I am so blessed!!
What else to say... I led out then Marcus took the lead with Nick in second and I just hung there relaxed for 800 meters then struggled a little passing people and on the last 200 when they took off I could not keep up. The times on the website will be wrong. I timed myself at 4:32.86 starting with the gun, and stopping the watch 1-2 seconds after I finished, running through the line. Pretty awesome race! A total of 34 seconds better than the 5:03 1600 I ran in high school and 7s faster than the 4:38 I ran in college. You can keep improving.
