Temperature = 92 degrees.

Warm up 1 mile. Drills. Ran 2 miles time trial at 6:50" pace at 100% effort. It's 22 seconds faster than last years 2 miles time trial.

Felt somewhat tired before the run (Was not 100% recovered from Monday double workouts).

I believe I could have run at 6:45" pace if I was fully rested. Andy dropped back after leading for 1 mile (not feeling well the last 2 days). Started leading Joe on last 300m.

Race predictor said 6:50" for 2 mile is potentially a 7:04" 5K or 3:36:08" marathon! Suddenly the possibility of running 3 miles at 7:00" pace is very real. Something that has never occured to me!!!
