Today the workout was mile, 1200m, 800m, 800m, 400m. I warmed up 3.25 miles to start. My goal on the mile was 4:48. Neal led it, and we started out WAY too fast. We came through the first lap at 53, which is 4:25 pace. The first four hundred was 67. After that, Pete took the lead and pushed the pace! I decided to back off there. Pete and Neal went through the 800 in 2:15, and I was at 2:17-2:18. I knew that was still way too fast, so I coasted in from there and hit 4:48. Neal was around 4:40, and Pete was around 4:43. 

After that I was pretty tired. I came through the 1200 at 3:32, just behind Neal. The first 800 was 2:18 right behind Neal. The second 800 was 2:19 right behind Neal. I was really tired after that, and I just wanted to finish the 400. Neal started out in front, but after 150 I was feeling good and I pushed it all out. Pete passed me, and Neal passed me down the last straightaway. Neal and Pete finished in 62, and I was in 63. 

 I cooled down 3.5 miles easy.
