I'm going to start doing mile repeats regularly. I ran some today over by Thanksgiving Point. There's a wide road with few cars that is good for night running. I ran back and forth 3 times. Actually, I ended up doing 4x1mile and 2x1200 meters (approx). Boy am I slow! I wasn't hurting too bad, but I just couldn't push the pace any harder. It was strange. But I'll keep working on it. It's definitely an area I can improve. Below are my splits.

I like those speeds. It's one thing to run a sub six mile and be done. It's another thing when you know you have to run several. On a separate note, Ragnar sent some awards for our 2nd place finish. It may take all year, or a trip to the post office, but I look forward to you receiving your trophy.

Thanks. Yeah, I guess that's what I get when I compare myself to others. This is a starting point for me, and hopefully I can get better as I train consistently.

Wow, that's cool about the trophies. BTW, congrats on the baby! I'm really glad he's healthy and happy.
