A wise man once said: "Breaking five in the mile is like getting to first base on prom night."
For a while now I've been wanting to run a mile time trial, but haven't got the balls or the courage to do it. Tried once in Georgia, but gave up at the 3/4 mark for some reason I've forgotten.
Ate dinner later than normal, and it was warmer than normal, but there wasn't any wind to speak of, and I'd been telling myself I was going to do it for a while so I did it. I can't pace worth a damn anymore. Went out the first 200 in 33, and the first 400 in 68 - a little fast. Faster than I wanted and it was there I almost quit. Did the next and ran a 2:23 800, the 1000 was 3:00 and the 1200 was 3:37. Pushed the last lap, but probably could have pushed harder. Finished in a 4:52. Pretty stoked about that.
68 - 400
75 - 2:23 - 800
74 - 3:37 - 1200
75 - 4:52 - 1600
