Average 8:44. One in the middle at 8:06. I cannot run 9 and 10 min miles every day and then show up and expect to race 8 min miles. Over the next few months I am gonna work on getting that pace down and worry less about overall distance. Working on getting this old body to go faster without getting hurt. When I was younger I had plenty of speed and my only training for distance events was to run about 2/3 of the distance at a slow pace and then just show up and run fast. 30 years later that strategy does not work at all.
