After some investigation I realized why the times are so off. I used the GPS feature of my watch to track my K's since I couldn't evenly stay on the inside lane of the track (there were kids soccer and basketball camps going on for summer). Because I had to keep running to the outside and inside I depended on my watch to give me the distance, what I didn't think about was that the watch samples very 4 seconds and there were some tall residence buildings around the course which affected my line of site for the GPS in my watch.
Long and short, I was running less then a K, exactly how much I'm not sure, but my times are probably more on par with what they should be in the 3:40 range is my guess.
Next time I do these I will go either earlier or later and just use the inside track lane and 2.5 laps to count it.
I knew I wasn't in that kind of shape yet, I remember what 2:30 and 2:40 K's (note accurate after thinking about it... more like 3:00 K's) used to feel like in my early 20's and yesterday wasn't it
