Miles&Miles&Miles&Miles

Second to last set of mile repeats b4 Nationals,#nomarginforerror
Arrived at Geasey Field just after 11am,a smattering of other people on the track but thankfully over the course of my workout no major issues w/ being impeaded for once.
Last time out over 4x1 mile on May 17th I went:5.19.0 5.30.2 5.29.7 5.31.8 my quickest set of mile repeats this year,if as I believed I was getting quicker and  stronger then I should be able to best them times today........
Following my mile warm up it was on w/ the flats and off to the races....

#1 Mile
1.18-1.24-1.22-1.15-5.19.4
Having checked my log b4 starting my repeats as is my won't I was aware I opened my May 17th session w/ a 5.19.0 mile so I was pleased to do likewise here today and not put myself in a hole from the get go.

#2 Mile
1.21-1.24-1.23-1.15=5.23.3
A solid second mile w/ consistant splits and another strong closing 200m

#3 Mile
1.21-1.26-1.27-1.15=5.29.5
Obviously I was disappointed that laps #2 and #3 got away from me but I was able to finish strong and stay on pace ahead of May 17ths repeats providing I didn't die over the final mile......

#4 Mile
1.22-1.25-1.27-1.15=5.29.0
Pretty much a repeat of the previous repeat although it wasn't for lack of trying over the final 200m as I threw everything I had into it.

Overall a 9 second improvement on May 17ths effort which is pleasing and in a unique manner maybe the first time in my 7 years of Mile repeats that all four have ended in the same split {1.15}
Let's see what June 28th has in store for me?
