Is it ironic that I started the Monday Miles blog with a mile run on Friday afternoon?
Well, I went to the track on Monday and even had a stopwatch runner with me. However, part of the high school track team was there training for nationals...which means I'm not welcome on the track.
Today was my first chance to get out there since. I ran a warm up lap at a relaxed pace just to get an idea of the time I might be running. My warm up lap took 2:17. So I figured shooting for about an 8 minute mile would be pretty close and if all else failed I could just speed up the last lap.
Anyways...so I started running knowing I would be near exhaustion at the end. I ran at near an 8 minute mile almost the entire time but my third lap lost 20 seconds. On my fourth lap I made up two of those seconds though.
Final mile time was 8:18.
My goal for the next mile trial of Monday Miles will be a sub 8. I think it will be attainable, although I may barf the big one... :)
