The Mile Test


Not a long post today...it was the Mile Test at Tuesday Night Track. Last month I really felt it when I ran a 5:47...tonight I ran a 5:41 and felt much better. That is a nice increase. I know I can go faster...5:35? 5:30? Who knows...this is a tough distance to judge because too fast on the first 400, and you are dead meat. I guess that goes for any distance though...In a marathon if you are too fast early on, you burn out and crash by mile 20.

I think everyone ran strong tonight. Tara is on fire with a 5:38...beating her time a month ago by 9 seconds. Ian also looked strong with a 6:23...not bad at all for a 55 year old.

Props to the training program...it freaking works!

I was disappointed by American Idol though...a few killer performances but the rest was rubbish. Poor David Archuleta. He forgot the words...I think he will still make it through though. We'll know tomorrow.
