Bike trails at crack o' chickens. Just the gang, the humidity and the horseflies.

Took another crack at the road mile in Little Rock. Different course this time, same weather (sunny, 78 and humid). My warmup got me very warm. What it did not do is get me loose. The hammies were tight and definitely slowed me down, but I pushed for everything they could give me, and managed to break 7 and beat Lionel. With tight muscles, and minimal speed work, I thought that was OK. But I want to focus on this race for a few weeks next year after London, do the speed work I need to get below 6:30. Wasn't a bad run, just a little disappointing that I couldn't get loose.
