Hal Canfield DKX MileFest

Today, on the summer solstice, I ran in my first 1 mile race at the Island Home Airport, also a first. I finished in 6:20. Previously, my fastest per mile time was 7:34 at the 2015 Turkey Trot 5k. Island Home Airport is pretty cool. It's only a mile from downtown Knoxville on a small island in the Tennessee River. Of course, because we ran on the runway and the airport is on a river, the whole race was flat! Quite a rare thing in East Tennessee.
