1300

5 Miles.

Splits: 7:40, 8:46 (all uphill), 7:47, 7:50, 8:03 (Garmin still ticking away after crossed finish line).

I just ran a 5 mile race with splits being in the 7:40s!!!

Overall pace 7:56.

5 miles done in 39:42.

This was a hilly course, especially mile 2.

So I have entered new territory.  Finally.  I am running mile splits in the 7s range.

THIS IS GOOD NEWS!

Burt, you got me out there again.  I saw your recent races.  So I decided to do back to back races yesterday and today.  And another one planned for Thursday.  Heck.  Why should you have all the fun?

Trying to emulate you Burt...but your dang PRs I will not match for a while I am sure! 

Overall: 25/120 = 0.21
