Started with 5 miles with Becky.  It was supposed to be a recovery run for her but she still isn't convinced of how slow recovery runs are supposed to be (I think we averaged 8:30/mile)..  I think it takes a couple of marathon cycles to really appreciate slow recovery runs.   

After she was done, I went out to the golf course and back for another 5 miles.  Wanted to dial in the pace for my pacing duties at Bryce this weekend.  Averaged 7:30/mile (target was 7:38) and it felt very comfortable.  Didn't have my Garmin but I've run that route so many times I know where every quarter mile marker is so it was easy to stay on pace.

I need to learn the meaning of recovery runs too! I don't want to burn out. I have got to slow down!!! You're a crazy strong steady runner!!
