I had to run on the track today for a self assessed fitness test.  I ran over to Highland High but quickly realized that the track is under construction.  Apparently the city forgot to tell me. :)  I felt that I had to do the test today so I continued on to East.  Did one 300 meter (odd distance I know) in 51 secs and a 1.5 mile in 8 mins.  If I didn't have to run to East I would have been MUCH faster.  Yeah right.  Anyway, it was good to get my heart rate up and to run in circles. 

5.5 miles at 7:30 pace, 1.5 at 5:30, 4 at about 6

An associate of mine told me that he used to run on a track and was so impressed by his times that his father got him a tryout with the university coach. When he went to the tryout and sucked, the coach learned of the track he ran on and had to explain to him that the track he had been running on was not a standard size, so he was much slower than he thought. You, however, are a stud.

Haha. That would be a bummer on the moral. My times would look much better if the east high track was long but I am afraid that it's regulation.

Thanks.
