Ever become self-indulgent with your health? Go with this any where you want.

Yesterday morning, into a strong headwind, set out to run a six-minute mile.

At the 800 meter mark, 3:04.

Ripped off a 6:01, with a 2:57 second 800 (and a negative split).

Figuring the headwind cost 3-4 seconds (the equivalent of sub-six).

This is not the self indulgence you saw coming. Have fun thinking about that today.
