Chris - 6.1

Mile time trial! Then 4.1 mile jog after: 38:32 - 9:23 pace

After work Jeeni and I drove over to the Southridge High School track so I could run a mile time trial. Unfortunately when we got there, there were a ton of people on the field and on one corner of the track. It looked like some sort of pee wee football camp or something. We ran 4 warmup laps, and I was hoping people would catch on and stay off at least lane 1. No such luck. I stopped and asked one grown up if they could try to stay off the inside lane in hopes he might help out. I started out feeling pretty good, but I didn't get much sleep last night and felt it after I got through lap 1 in 1:15. I asked her to walk up and try to clear people off lane 1 so I didn't accidentally knock over some little kid. Lap 2 came and went in 1:26, and going into lap 3 I didn't feel like I had much energy or spring in my legs, so I was worried about breaking my PR. Jeeni did a decent job of getting at least the kids to pay attention as I came around the corner, but I still had to break outside about 4 or 5 lanes to run around a group of coaches (idiots). Finished lap 3 in 1:29. I decided afterwards if all those people weren't there, I probably would have kicked from 200 out instead of 100. So as it was I got through lap 4 at 1:23 for a total time of 5:34 - 3 seconds off my PR. After getting my breath back she and I ran an easy 4 miler, then went to 7/11 and got Slurpees.
