running 40:00 [3] 5.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
Beautiful day. Ran at the Enger mile loop - MN Mile course. Ran course twice: 7:50, 7:45, then ran a couple of miles easy, then one harder mile: 7:18. Jess is right, one tough course. The 300 meter uphill at the 3/4 mile mark makes for a challenging finish. Splits: 1:51, 1:50, 1:52, 1:45 - but pushed the last 1/4. There will be no sub-4s on this course.
