Hwy 205, 1:30 p.m., sunny, 38. Me and two other friends went out for a longer run. Bruce dropped off after 8 miles, but Enrique and I went another 2.3 miles. I felt really strong. The wind was from the NW, so we had a nice headwind for much of it. I felt a bit fatigued at 7 miles, but got through that and everything felt good. I could have easily gone another 2-3 miles. Good sign!!!
10.3 miles in 1:16:42 (7:26 pace). This was a bit faster than I wanted to go, but I let the two knuckleheads set the pace. They are still relatively new to running and sometimes push a bit too much on runs that they should not. I could tell by speaking to them during the run that it was too fast and hinted at that, but... Ahh, the male ego. These group runs are new, but very welcome as it makes the time fly by. |
