Total Distance
7.00

7 miles today. My dad decided to do have me do a surprise mile time trial. As we were jogging to the start, I tried to empty my mind of all thoughts. It worked! My splits were 76, 73, 73 and 70. I only felt like giving up around 600. Total time was 4:52.5 (a PR).

Very nice. Great breakthrough. Won't be long until that mile PR drops down to the 4:40s.
