Holy Smokes!
So, three days after running the Nike Run-Hit Wonder Race, I ran the 4-mile Run for Central Park. My clock time was 28:29, which means I had at least a 7:07 pace. My previous fastest was 7:42 in a 5k race back in March.
Yeesh! Yay!
I almost lost it, though. I ran the first mile in 7:21, and the second in 6:50. So by the third, I was feeling a whipped. I've never experienced the "recovering your breath while still running pretty hard" thing before. It's amazing how, if you slow down just a little, you'll slowly recover enough to start speeding up again. I never really tried that before.
...
The official results just came online: I ran a 7:04 pace. ROCK ON.

Fantastic man! I, too, ran a personal best per-mile time. Feels great, doesn't it? And could the weather have BEEN any better?
