From Dad's blog : It was the discussion of Laman and Lemuel that helped Benjamin break 6:00 mile for the first time and never look back

A.M. 4 miles in about 31:17.

 P.M. Ran a warmup of about 0.5, then did a few strides.

Right from the gun, one kid went out really fast. So fast, that I was worried about getting dropped. Fortunately, after a half mile, he slowed down to a more sane pace. I rested behind him for 300 meters, then surged to take the lead. While I was resting, Grant caught up to us and when I pulled away, he followed me.

I led until there was about 1200 to go, then let Grant take the lead for the hill. Not very nice of me, I know, but I was trying to win. With about 800 to go, I kicked and ended up winning in 10:42 by 7 seconds. I think that's a course record for recent years.

Cooled down for about a mile and a half with some other kids.
