One mile

Every year in June, New York Road Runners are organizing a virtual one-mile race on Strava. With almost continuous daylight this time of the year, I woke up super early and started grading theses in preparation for tomorrow’s seminar but, after a couple of hours, I thought I would get the day started and race those 1,609 meters in my red Hoka Rincons. While running 17 seconds faster than last year, I think I would have been even faster on the track so I remain optimistic about finally running 5k in under 20 minutes this summer.
