5th Avenue Mile

Ran the 5th Avenue Mile today for the first time with these 1/4 mile splits...

1:20 down
1:31 up
1:26 down
1:25 flat

... for a 5:42 by my watch.

Official results have me at 5:45.

If I want to make the first part of my stated goal I'll need to carve 45 seconds off of this for next year's edition. Around this time last year I could probably have done about a 6:30. So that's 45 seconds off in a year. Could that be done two years in a row? I missed about 4 months of training last year so with a good consistent year of training it might be possible. If not I'll be out on the track self-timing one mile on November 1st sometime near midnight.
