Met up with Drake, Jimmy and Ben for a mile time trial and a few extra miles after that at Shawnee Mission East High School. It was a good time running with a few of the guys again it had been quit awhile since I have ran with anyone from Runner's Edge or anyone at all. THe weather was just about perfect for a mile time trial a slight breeze and even just a few sprinkles on the 2 mile warm up. Then we stretched changed shoes and hit the track. I ran about 10 seconds faster than I did last year at our time trial, 5:32 mi. It felt pretty good but it definitely wasn't an all out effort so if training goes well between now and the end of January I think I could possibly reach lower 5 minutes for the indoor mile in Brookings. We then hit the roads for an easy additional 6.4 miles at just over 8 min/mi pace which seemed really to easy on a pretty hilly course. After our run we headed out for a quick bite to eat then home to be with the family by 10am. It was not the fastest of run but it was a great day to get out and run.
