I have always wanted to see how fast I could run a mile, but never committed myself to find a race. Luckily, Mark Miller and the East Nasty's organized the "Music City Mile." For the first annual race the turn out was amazing and looking forward to the huge success it will bring in the future. I had not really trained for this event, so my expectations were low. As 6:15 pm rolled around the announcer rallied us up behind the start line to begin this race. I really felt out of place being among some elite runners, at least in my eyes. The Buzzer alarmed and we were out of there like a firecracker. I tried to keep up for a little bit but after that first turn my legs said, "If you wanna finish this mile you better slow down," So I did. Around the last turn my lungs were hurting, and my legs were burning but I kept picking up my legs and crossed that finish line at 6:49. I was pleased with my results and now I know where I stand!
