College 1.5 mile race. I was feeling great and ran it in 7:50 minutes, which is about a 5:30 min/mile pace! I also came in first :)

That is 5:13 pace, which is much faster than 5:30!

Was this on the track, how much did you beat the second place by, and who was it?

This race was not on the track, it was cross country. The race was a student race at my university, so not really an "official race." I beat the second place girl by one minute which was pretty far. The men and women ran at the same time, and I came in third including the boys! I have a half marathon coming up on saturday as well which will be another good test of my speed. The half marathon is much more official with prize money and entry numbers etc.

Great job!

I hope the course was accurate. The info you are giving on the gaps and placing suggests that it could have been. 7:50 for 1.5 on grass is very solid speed. Throw a couple of years of reasonable endurance training on top of that and you will be running a 2:35 marathon. That is Standard A for the Trials, and probably around $10,000 prize money per race.

We will have a better idea of your fitness after the Saturday half, though.
