Attempted to run a mile @ mile race pace and was not feeling this today after the Sleeping Giant run yesterday.  Put the mile together in 7:54 and had been going for 6:59.  Ran with Doug and he was ahead of me the entire way.  So I figured he beat me.  He was in Lane 1 and I was in Lane 2.  He put together the mile in 8:04 (inside lane).  Was awesome seeing him fly down the track.  At the quarter mile mark, I was at 6:15/mile.  So Doug was at that or faster.  It should be interesting when Tim, Doug and I race our next mile!  Clearly I will not be running Sleeping Giant the day before the mile race.  I can’t afford to!

The plan was to go for 9:00/miles.  As I was in Lane 2 and pacing Doug for 9:00/miles, I attempted to put it together at 8:50/mile.  I will finish my mile about 0.02 miles before he finishes his mile (lane difference and we are side by side).  Thus he would have ten seconds more to run to go from 0.98 miles to the one mile mark.  This is the correct practice.  At one point, I thought I needed to run 9:10s…but in fact…I should be going for 8:50s if I am in Lane 2 and pacing him for a 9:00/mile.

You'll hit your sub 7 mile. After last weeks 7:09, you know what it'll take to get there. Isn't it fun suffering to set PRs? :>

ACorn, I have missed you and others on this site. But I did catch up reading about you. And from what I read, you are off the injured list - is that correct? Hoping it is! Mom has not been on here in a while I notice. But I am pretty sure she is still running. At least I hope she is. Hope all is going well with you and your family. I feel the 6:59 is coming. PR for the mile during a 5K race...I loved that. Awesome that you ran a 1/4 mile with those kids!!! Heck yes it is FUN.
