I got out to McAlpine this morning for longish run with some of the guys from Queens. I started out with Futsum, Alex and Benny but soon it was just me and Benny for miles 5-10. I am still getting used to how quick some of the guys start out their runs. While I'm content to let the pace ease into sub-6:20s, some of the guys can get there by mile 2 or 3. Today I ran to the Footlocker course, ran twice around the loop and returned back to Old Bell lot. The slits were: 7:17, 6:31, 6:17, 6:17, 5:58, 6:02, 6:08, 5:56, 5:41, 5:23.

Look at some of those jumps, not the nice progression I'm used to running. I felt good out there today and was comfortable finishing up well under 6:00/mile. I'm pretty sure some of the others dropped final miles under 5:00 mins which would have been unheard of during my time at Brown.
