OK it was by one second... but still I was at 7 min or less for running 1 mile...  I felt great during the whole thing.. I did get a little winded towards the end of the mile but Felt like I could go for another mile or a half at that pass.  If this keeps up I could be doing 5k in about or under 25 min  with no problems.

One of the guys from LFT was running it too and we started at the same time...  I got a head of him then for most of the race...  OK mark you where just playing with me... and then he passed me the last 30 yards before the finish line...  typical Mark sets back then he comes and pass you at the end.  I was thinking of picking up my speed when he passed me but I was just about to the finish line at that time and was looking at a Person Best.. Ok First personal Best for the one Mile run....

Fargo here I come... I need to take this as a long training run.. Buffalo Triathlon is 2 weeks after the Fargo half I don't have much time to recover and get ready for that race. At least after that I have about 4 weeks before the Lifetime fitness Tri.

Hey Dave!

Great race! Honestly, I didn't see you after you took off at the start. It's so great that you finished in under 7. You can say you can run races in the 6's. You don't have to say 6:59 or how short the race was. :-)

Shoot for 6:49 next year!
