Virtual Mile

So last night I went to the Damonte Ranch High School track where I attempted running a few fast miles.  This coincided with a workout I did last year at about the same number of weeks out from my marathon so I figured it would be a good indicator to see if I'm on track to be in as good or better shape for the CIM.  Since I ran 3:14 at Bizz Johnson, I'd like to be in better shape this year to break at least 3:10 if not 3:00 at CIM in December. 
So I ran the first mile in 5:58, the second in 6:24 and the third in 5:50.  It felt pretty good but I was dissappointed to see that last year I ran 5:56, 5:48, 5:41. 
Good luck to Reid tomorrow in breaking the 5:00 mile!

virtual mile

Another Reid is attempting to run a mile in under 5:00 this week. I've done that once at the Firecracker Mile 2007 in Truckee, CA (4:40). To join in the fun, I'll try for a fast mile on Thursday during my regular workout, although it won't be near 5:00.
