Summary

This one goes out to all our loyal listeners who have been with me since the start of CITIUS MAG and know that I've been after this goal for a very long time.

On Feb. 15th, I lined up for the mile at Trials of Miles' The Circuit at The Armory in New York City. After three solid months of training under coach Mark Coogan, we decided it would be a good test to see where my fitness was at. 4:57.88 was a little bit of a surprise but so fulfilling.

Decided to jump on the mic with my wife to recap the night at the track.
