Ha Ha! I don't run 7:24 miles yet, but I'm sure it's pretty tough to tell the difference between running 8:00 and 7:24 LOL Rock on with your bad self!

Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous! :-) I mean, I knew I'd picked up the pace a bit, but see, in that mile, I kept seeing other runners ahead of me, so I lost track of myself and subconsciously started racing with them all. Left 'em in the dust, brother! ;-)
