AG track, lane 2, Jordan holding the watch. 55 degrees, overcast, sprinkling at times.

I'm not gonna lie, this wasn't easy. After finishing up the first set right on pace I told Jordan that I knew I could speed up but wasn't sure I could hit 2:40. Turns out I was right--I actually ran faster. No idea how I pulled that off but I dug deep and managed to hold the pace until the end. Considering I struggled to break 2:40 for 800s on the Dilworth Speed Loop a few weeks ago, I'll take it.
