Proof There is Room for Improvement....Later

Track was sad this morning...in the sense that it is my very last one. Coach Al one on one time I have found is something to be cherished. (when I say one on one, it's really like twelve on one time) He spent time telling us we are ready, then he had us partner up and split a mile. We could split either in half/half or flip flop between single laps around the track relay style. Chipper Sue and I chose 400 meter relay style and I went first. We projected our mile time being 10 minutes because this is the pace we trained at all season. Well I felt like I really pushed my pace, and I am not sure whether Chipper SUe felt she pushed, but we finished our mile at 8:30 pace. Which makes me ask myself...am I capable of running longer distances at a faster pace? Not sure, but nows not the time to explore. Maybe after the marathon I can work on speed. For now, I really just want to finish. :)
