Timed Mile: 8:03

Today at Crossfit we got to pick any workout off the board and just go for our best time, and I went for the mile run. I had been meaning to do a timed mile or mile and a half ever since my last race, so it was perfect. My best 1.5-mile was at the end of Basic Training at 12:18, so my goal was to do the mile as close to 8:00 as possible. At halfway my split time was 3:52 so I thought I totally had it. I didn't feel like I slowed down for the second split but I guess at that distance every little bit adds up. I finished in 8:03 and now I have a number to beat.
