Started out with 4 miles before the club run (averaged 7:20/mile). Saw Kathie on the way out and tried to catch her on the way back. She was moving too quick and I couldn't catch up to her. Since Trevor wasn't there today and Jim's long runs are on Sunday and likes to take it easy on Saturday I thought that I could slack off a little today. Jim wanted to push the pace a little so we ran the first 4 miles at 6:45-6:55/mile. We backed off the last 2 miles and ran with a few people from the group the rest of the way (around 7:30/mil). I felt pretty good during the run but it was a bit of work to maintain the pace. Jim has been working really hard for a sub 3 attempt at Boston and he is in incredible shape right now. These are the only times that I regret not keeping my training at a high level. It is hard when you are running with somebody who doesn't seem to be working at all and you are doing all that you can to keep up.
