Canned Heat in my Heels...

I'm going to keep this short and sweet...

For the first time ever, I ran a sub-8:20 mile last night. By some miracle, I pulled a 7:47 virtually out of no where, with a negative split, no less. And all my 400's ended up being descending...starting at 1:57 with the fastest at 1:47. Perhaps later this year I'll try and go for a new 5k PR running sub-8's? We'll see.

Absolute madness, I tell you. Let's just hope this was no accident.

But I'm still in shock. And glowing as a result.

I am just so glad I am no longer one of those people who can only run at one speed and know how to effectively do track workouts.

Thats pretty awesome. Its great when you can actually amaze yourself, isnt it? I doubt its a freak accident and that you will have more speedy runs in the future!
