Millers Mutual Mile Run Entry

I mailed my entry for this race today.  When race time rolls around  on July 21st I will have completed three weeks of training since my last race.  I will have run for about ten or eleven hours and between eighty and ninety miles during the three weeks.

I have set a lofty goal of running a 5:45 ( five minutes and  forty-five seconds) race which should put me in the top twelve for this race.  I am genetically predisposed for the shorter distances.  I would like to run a quarter mile race somewhere, sometime.  They only place I have ever seen races of this distance are indoors in the Washington D.C area in the winter.

My effort of 5:57 for the mile was in late May.  I have trained for two solid months to become faster.  I need to remember to warm up extensively before this run. I don't want to pull up mid-way through the race.

I hope my family will attend this race.  Last year they had kid friendly bounce houses and face painting at this event.  They also had a Michelob beer tent for the runners.

Barring a substantial migration of runners aged 44 last year into my 45-49 bracket this year, I have an excellent chance of finishing in the top 12.

Here are the results of the 2009 Miller Mutual Mile for my age band.
