North Shore Mile
I had an invite from my buddy EK to join him for a "time trial" mile. We initially set out to run at the UMD track, but upon arrival the woman's soccer team was setting up for practice and that just wasn't going to work for us. On to plan B, which was to run on the marathon course between miles 18 and 17. After a decent warm up and a few strides we set off in the mid 70'sF afternoon temps for what would be an attempted 5:00 minute mile or slightly under. We were getting quarter mile updates via GPS and the spilts unfolded as follows: out in 76, 74, 72, and closed in 70 seconds for a mile of 4:53. Very good for the both of us and once we completed our warm down we hit Lake Superior for a cool bath. Overall a very positive way to start a new week, and a very positive way for EK to be heading into his race.

Dang. Good work boys.
I expected EK would be signed up for one of the Superior races, but I don't see his name (pacing, perhaps?) That's a pretty fast mile for distance guys!
Thanks Chris... a nice way to start the new week.
Steve- you never know where EK is going to show up. This year is different and you have to think "shorter" for this upcoming weekend to find him...
Hmm. Beardsley 1/2-Marathon short or Duluth Mile short. I wonder. I'll have to check the race results!
