Another run in the afternoon because we are beginning work in the field at 6:30. Temperature a lovely 85 or so. Although I thought for sure that I would make my 1/4-mile goal of 80 seconds, I didn’t even do as well as Tuesday. At the halfway point, I saw the digits turn to 41, so I knew I was a bit behind the pace of last time, so I pushed hard. Not enough, though. I busted my butt on the final sprint and succeeded in breaking the 1-minute mark. This may have been because I set up Roy G. Biv to finish on the iPod, and break into “What I Like About You” just as I started the final. The music is the motivation—my final time was just a bit more than 1/2 second slower than my record of 57.88. My have beaten the record if I had not been distracted by the fact that one of the ear buds came out after 20 seconds or so.
