I was in New York recently, and was boasting to my friend and business partner that I could certainly run a 5:30 mile, without much training. I used to run much faster than that in high school. And I try to run longer distances (albeit dramatically slower) on a regular basis.
I’ve tried twice now in the past 3 days. First time: 6:14. Second time: 5:58.
Hubris.
