Good home meet, despite Nick not running the mile!

The mile started fast, everyone went out pushing pretty hard and it confused me a bit. All the runners got bunched up and I got boxed in some the first lap, but some of the runners who got out fast were already slowing down. Everything was a big blur, for some reason while running it, my brain couldn't comprehend anything. The fourth lap though I was able to catch up to a group and pass a quite a few guys. A guy tried to out finish me, but to no avail. Got 5th with a 5:01. Season best.

The 2 mile, started out pretty good, I was able to stay with a group and not let any big gap form. The first four laps were consistent, until the 5th lap when I started getting in racing mode. Almost started to doubt myself during the race, but then thought of cheeseburgers and that kept me going. Every lap I was able to slowly move up a little, and pass a few guy on the way. Moving from like 7th place to 3rd place and finishing 11 flat, 15 second PR!! Fun race and Ryan did great as well.

Well that's it, hopefully I can break 5 mins in the mile and 11 mins in the 2 mile, in the next few meets.
