10 miles today over mostly flat trails. Ran with son James and one of other Army runners I am coaching. First mile was about 7:10 and then things picked up quickly. Tried to keep it close the first half but James started to pick it up. At 5 miles I was about 10 secs back but hit 32:20. As I watched James pull away with other runner I thought I was slowing down but realized that I had actually picked it up but they were just really moving. Ended up with an overall 6:19 average pace with last 5 miles in 30:50. I was really impressed with son James as he ended up with about 61 minutes and 29 minutes for last 5 miles. |
