Personal:

35 yrs & 6'1 142 lbs. No wife, no kids, 1 white deaf dog named Diogi.

Never ran high school cross country/track. Ran a 5:38 mile in freshmen gym class cross country mile race...where I tried to recruit friends to bunk the event and walk but no one walked with me and everyone took off...after about 15-30 seconds I said screw it and took off with a vengenace from the rear of about 200 kids. Passed everyone and was going to take the victory but on the last 100-200m Tuffy Mills (sophmore track & football/basketball player) kicked hard and smoked me.

2012 aged 32yrs old got back into running and ran another 5:38 mile.

Christmas East Coast @ 65 Sunny + cloudy in and out

Drove to Indian Lake Park in Little Ferry New Jersey to run around the lake. 2.25 laps with rolling hills elevation gain 125ft equals 1 mile.

Mile 1: 7:37

Mile 2: 7:48

Mile 3: 7:43

Mile 4: 7:17

Going counter clockwise you hit the hills more and I couldn't stop to think back 3yrs ago when I ran 1 warm-up mile then knocked out a 20min 5k here around the lake and then stopped and drank some fluids. It was dark out and I set the timer and ran a 5:48 mile. What gets me wondering is how fast can I run a flat mile with likewise competition?

5k : mile 1 was 6:09 held back so much....let 30-50 runners go and just wanted slow it down mile 1

Mile 2 was 7:48 because the monster hill was elevation gain 144ft! At altitude 128 or something. I felt like I was in a Spartan race at Blue Mountain PA and walking up a black diamond with a wet 30lb sandbag. There was a water stop right there before you turned the corner and went up. I should have took a cup.

Mile 3 was 7:29 . 22 mins

Had I known how severe the hill was in Nyack Snowflakes 5k I would have pushed hard for a 1 Mile PR and then shuffled it in. I think I could have hit 5:15-5:30 which would have PR'd. Next year.

3 mile cool down to hit 400 miles for the year.
