Enumclaw, WA. Met at Starbucks. I rode with my church friend, Angela, from her home to Enumclaw Starbucks. We had a misunderstanding that we were suppost to meet at her friend June's house. However, it was just us 3. People meet at 7 p.m. who want to go further miles but the other group meets at 8 p.m. So we ran 4+ miles then we stopped at the Starbucks and waiting for the rest of the group to join us. We first ran around the surrouding neighborhoods in that area and on a bike trail and back. When the other girls joined us we ran out more on farm land roads and part on the bike trail. A loop basically. There were about 8 of us there. Great run but on the 8th mile my L leg started to tighten and I could tell if I ran too much further I would have some leg problems. We ran with the whole group some of the time but probably about the last 2 miles I ran with just Angela. It is neat because we were about the same speed. I even felt she pushed me a little bit. Both of us were done though and her leg kinda hurt. We were done when we could see the starbucks so we just walked the rest of the way. I felt decently good most the time. I ate some fruit and toast before the run.

TT: 1:26:42 Avg: 9:15 min. Max: 8:03 min.

Splits: 9:37, 9:18, 8:59, 9:01, 9:21, 9:15, 9:13, 9:18, 9:07, 9:26 (There was about a 5 min. break on about mile 4+) Then we ran the 2nd half.

Why Thanx. I heard about the group from a friend in Church. I just found out a week ago that she is getting into running and there is a group that meets in Enumclaw. You and Lisa should join me next weekend! Or whenever you are getting back into running! Yeah I hope to do well on the half.

Thanks Lisa for the complement. I think I could do another marathon, I just don't want to put my body through that again. I'm being nice to it.:)
