This evening I clocked my first 800. The timer on my iPod Nano stopped at a sluggish 2:39. I guess that's on pace for a 5:18 mile, but I had really hoped for something closer to 2:30.
What's more, I even had a tank-top on. So much for that giving me a little more speed! Now my only hope is a new pair of shoes, which I'm still on the hunt for.
I did have a Dr. Pepper last night, I must admit. I think I need to give the sweet stuff up if I want to make 4:59 happen.
Mile trivia: George W. Bush ran a 7-minute mile during his presidency (for or against him, that's not bad for a stubborn ol' Texan).
