The Mile: Revisited

This morning marked the 5th Tuesday after the initial one mile time trial for summer speed sessions. I wrote about my first ever sub 7 minute mile here. The South (as well as a lot of the US) has been going through a crazy heat wave right now. I have been dreading the time trial for the past 2 days.

I was fulling anticipating doing worse on this mile time trial than the last. 1.75 mile warm up and before I knew it I was running. I started out a little too fast, but in the end my final time was 6:51. 8 second improvement. In this heat I will more than take it.

In other news, I have completed 5 weeks of my marathon training. I am really doing this.
