Warmed up on the way to the rec center. Last time I'll be on bg campus for a while. I needed my free t-shirt though. Took a while to find the guy proctoring the mile time trials, which were on the treadmill btw. BG is a ghost town ever since they cancelled classes for the semester. Wow that happened fast.

Anyways, the fastest time on the board was 5:01 and since the treadmills only go 12 mph I figured the best I could do was tie it. So tie it I did. Started hurting at the quarter mile but just pushed through it. Had a little doubt with .4 left but then I just thought of it as a completion thing rather than a race and that got me through it.

So tied for 1st, wish the treadmill went a little faster so I could cross off my 2020 sub-5:00 mile. But I'll do that soon enough.

Cooled down and went home. Probably driving to Utah tomorrow. No need to be here in BG.
