I did a 3.2 mile out and back this afternoon -- you run out to some point and turn around and run the reverse course trying to get back in less time than it took to go out. The 1.6 miles is nothing specific just a logical and defined point on my run that I've noticed as I clock distance. I achieved the negative split -- first leg a leisurely 15:26, the return leg a little quicker 14:31. It was a little rough. There's a large hill in the first half mile that's nice to run down on the way out, but pretty miserable on the way back. It was a good run though to see where I stand. Oh yeah, and it was warm!
