CD: mile on MLK, to Veale

My original intent for this was three miles at 6:00 pace. I was rather nervous because this is the first time I've run fast in a very long time. The way out was fairly easy so I decided that a serious runner would do four miles and three is a bit of a joke, so I decided to go four. The return trip was somewhat difficult and I hadn't realized how much the wind was helping on the way out. This was much harder than it should be under normal circumstances, but I need to start somewhere.

I ran it with "O Come O Come Emmanuel" stuck in my head. This contributed to me running four miles because I wanted to finish near Mt. Sinai Drive to keep with the theme.
