FEAT COMPLETED- Run a 00:07:00 Mile

Coming just two days off completing my Dash time feat, I wasn’t looking for a long workout. Jess, Rob and I all had mile times we wanted to hit, so we decided to hit the track and give it a try to see how much more work we’re going to have to do to get it. The answer: none! We all smashed our mile time goals, which is just crazy, particularly as I feel they were agressive times to begin with. I mean, it’s not like I was trying to do it under 15 minutes or something; the time I was trying to hit was 7 minutes, which would have but me at my high school speed at my very best.

I let Jess go first, then started 15 seconds or so behind her, with Rob right behind me. I needed to get a 00:01:45 lap for four laps to do it, and when I saw that after the first lap I was at only 00:01:30 I thought I might be on to something. The second lap was ten seconds slower, the third lap was the same as the second, so I am heading into the last lap with about a 25 second cushion. I hammered down on the last lap, trying to catch Jess, and crossed the finish line in a swift 00:06:36! Hot dang, two feats in three days! The kid is on a roll! Jess and Rob also smashed thier times, with Jess getting about 00:06:42 (her goal was 00:07:30) and Rob banging out a 00:07:02 (with a goal time of 8 minutes). Good job, Funning Group!
