this ended up being a great run..been out of racing since 2018 and finally fell like im getting faster after building a base for the past 4 months...started out at about a 9min/mile pace...paced with another racer until the start of mile 3..i felt good so i picked it up pretty much to a threshold pace which was in the low 8's high 7's..finished strong and it felt really good.
What would you do differently?:

maybe ran mile 1 and 2 a little faster
