Met up with Steve, Logan, Clyde, Dave and Aaron this morning. Talk about intimidating!!! I knew that it was going to be a hard morning when we started off the first 3 miles @ a 7:11 average pace and they still wanted to do a tempo run!!! OUCH!?!?!? We stretched for a bit and then started the tempo, I had no idea where I even was or what route that were running I knew that I wouldn't keep up I just wanted to keep at least one of then in sight. Luckily Steve was running with no shirt on so i could see a white body occasionaly under a street light. Those guys took off like bullets, I can't believe how fast they are!!! I havent ran real fast for a long time and I really wanted to test the lungs. Mile 1 was a 6:12, mile 3 6:18 good uphill climb on this mile and then finally the 3rd mile was a 6:07. Steve was waiting for me at mile 3 and I was glad to be done with the tempo. Logan, Clyde and Aaron ran close to 8 miles at around a 5:40 pace WOW!!! They ran back to Steve and I and then we all finished back at Clyde's house. The last 8 we averaged a 7:35 pace and so today was a real test for me. I felt really good, but I know that I will pay for it tomorrow!!! I wish that I could run with these guys more, they are all strong runners! |
