PULVERIZED my mile PR
At the end of 2004 – prior to my learning the Pose Method and switching to high mileage training – my best one mile was clocked in 6:25.
On February 23/07 – after a two year hiatus from serious training, and followed by a long winter of base training – I decided to test myself and came up with a 6:19.
Today – a bit more than two weeks after Regina marathon – I decided another test was in order.
I’m pretty excited about this! But am I being greedy to say I’m also a bit burned I missed getting a sub-6:00 mile? I guess that’ll be another day’s triumph huh?
Whining aside, McMillan’s Running Calculator says I’m good for a 20:58 5k (6:45 pace) and a 43:32 10k (7:00 pace). Those are the two races I’m considering for October.
There was dry-heaving a-plenty at the end of that mile but it was SO worth it.

Aside: I need to shave 8 seconds off my mile time to beat my friend Nick’s SNOWSHOE world record mile time of 5:56.
