Your fastest mile for the month of September to December.

October 4th - 5:30am - ~55 degress - dark out - I was doing my weekly 6m AT workout - just happened to fell really good during mile 3 - I've got a great little 1 mile loop on a side street near my house. I was a little sore when I began but I got into the workout pretty quickly. As I was finishing my 2nd mile I thought - "you know what I'm going to try and go real fast here" - I hammered mile 3. Mile 4 and 5 were pretty poor after but I was ok with that. Kind of screwed up my workout for the day but when you feel good about something just go with it right? Anyway I was walking up my front steps and I thinking about how nice the hot shower was doing to be - needless to say I got distracted and never looked at my watch to check my splits. Well after my shower I got ready for work and had a coffee on the go with my morning luna bar and I had a lot on my mind due to work so I wasn't thinking about my run but I know it had felt pretty good. Anyway I got to work and was telling people about my workout that morning and how great I felt that day. I got a ton of work done and landed a big account. (yay me!) Anyway it was a great day and one of my fastest miles ever! What a way to kick of October.

I ran a 3:52 1500 in December. There was a meet that got postponed from the summer, and I got to travel, so I took some time to prepare for it, but was still doing base work.

A few weeks later I ran Morton and Downin's race in NH a few ticks under 4 minutes in late December. Probably worth about a 4;10, with the steep downhill grade.

Other than those two efforts, I can remember many miles during these months, as other fast efforts would have been part of workouts. Don't know if I ever cracked 4:30 in these months.
