Quick run on track

Tonight was great ... a light drizzle, about 55 degrees, no wind. I decided to run about 25 minutes on the track. I warmed up for about 6, then did a loop where I accelerated for 100 meters on the track and then just kept my footsteps light and spirited around the practice field next to the track and back to the track. It was about a 4-minute loop, I did it 3 times. Finally, I decided to run at a steady pace 1 mile on the track in lane 1. I was running the first three laps in 2:12 (about 8:48 pace), then picked it up, keeping it brisk but within my ability right now, on the fourth 400. I did it in 2 minutes for an 8:35 final mile. So I ran about 27:30 and felt very good. Probably 3 miles.
