mile repeats

Test #1.  It's cold again.  We start just south of 64th St. on the west side and run as fast as we can.  For one mile.  We recover for a little less than a mile.  And then we do it again.  And again.  The key is to run as fast as you can and still be able run that pace the second and third time.  I did okay.  8:08 on the first pass, 8:15 on the second and 7:57 on the third.  I honestly think I ran faster on the third one because by that point, there was no one else running around me!  It felt like I was all alone, in the dark, in the freezing cold, in Central Park.  run!!!!
