Met a local training group at Audobon Park for a long run. The pace started off very slow (~8:20) and progressed to a little bit sub-7 in the middle and the last 5 or so at 6:00. Progression runs aren't really a part of my training at this point, but I hung with them for 3 of the 5 faster miles to see how it felt. It didn't feel good. I was going to do all 5 with them, but the latter stages of these long runs have been pretty rough on me to this point. It felt like racing at some point, so I let go.
