That's how long it took me to run a mile today at the track. I've never run a mile that fast before. NEVER.
I just wanted to see how I was doing because I've been a running slacker these past few weeks. Utah really threw me off my game. So did other stuff.
Sigh.
Anyway, I couldn't have gone that fast if I didn't have someone there, encouraging me, pushing me to run faster. I would've given up during the third trip around that damn track. I wanted to puke. I wanted to quit.
It's nice to have someone there for you, pushing you to your best, expecting you to exceed your expectations. It was a good day at the track.
Maybe next time I'll shoot for 7:30.
That's an excellent time, especially if you haven't been full-on training lately. Pushing to the point of wanting to puke is good stuff - hardcore. Good job!
