A.M. 4 miles in about 32:00. P.M. Went to Kiwanis park for a 1500 meter race. Warmed up about 0.5, and did a few strides. From the gun it was just me and Grant, who was determined to stick with me. Around 400 I went around a corner the long way and Grant passed me, conveniently taking the lead just before the big hill. I let Grant lead for 300 or so, then attempted to pass him and kick. He fought me for about 100, then started to drop back. I ended up winning in 4:55, by 8 seconds. Throughout the whole race, I felt like I wasn't effectively using my full leg strength. It was like I was locked into a certain pace, and no matter how hard I tried, I could not go faster. It's probably because I was running on grass. Cooled down about 1.5 with Grant, giving me a total of 7 for the day.
