Ran 5 miles on the trail at lunch with Colleen. She just came back from Boston so she ran 4 and I did an extra one alone. She said she hurt a little so shed slow me down, but no such luck! First mile was almost a 10 and then it all went downhill from there. Stayed around 8:23 pace. One alone was an 8:09 and the last one was an 8:49. To fast for a slow run lol. Finished with an overall pace of 8:45.

Ran outside on the trail after work. Watch messed up and all of the sudden I started running 6:30's (but there is no way i was). Ran from mile 5 down to Glen Oben and ran the Geln Oben hills, then headed back to mile 5 and ran Linstead once. Didnt think I had run enough so went back out and did one more mile......UGGG Stupid watch. Hopefully it just lost sattalite reception and it wont ever happen again.

Ran 5 miles on the trail with Colleen. Perfect weather cool but a little too much wind, and by the end of the run we were running against some strong winds. (Supposed to be easy 9:30's but felt good and we talked the whole time even the last mile so I guess it wasnt to fast)
