Went out to a dirt/clay/rocky road for a long run with a group.  The road goes on for many miles (furthest I've run on it is 10 out/10 back) and the only traffic is from a few hunters.  I ran the first couple with a friend who is much faster at an 8:30/mi pace, then I slowed down and he sped up after the first water stop.  Then I ran on my own for the rest and my stomach started hurting at mile 10.  I finished with an average pace of 9:20, which is what I should have been running anyway.  It just felt like a crapy run.

Ran with an old high school buddy who happened to be at a group run in my home town.  Hadn't seen him in 4 yrs.  The weather was perfect as well ( around 50).  I was holding an average of 7:28 for 6 mi and felt really good.  I was able to have a conversation just fine, the cold air hitting my face occasionally messed with my enunciation, but I wasn't out of breath.  Great run.

Ran 1.6mi to meet up with a running group and then ran with a few other people for the remainder.  Didn't go to fast, the average was around 8:20/mi.  Quads were a little sore from the run yesterday, but it was a good easy run.
