3 miles in 29:08 with the last mile in 5:58.  That last mile felt really good.  I know it's not super fast, and 8 years ago it would have been par for the course, but I was really happy with that last mile and think that it is a good sign.  Now I just need to work on building my base and throwing in some speed stuff along the way.
