I walked/ran to Bingham this morning to warm-up for the big group run. Met the group at 5:45, and we ran over to Temple View to warm-up some more. Then we broke up into two groups, the group being chased and the group doing the chasing, and ran about a 3.5 mile run. I was in the group being chased. I like doing things like that because I think it gets us running harder than we would otherwise. I ran the entire way with Nancy Russell. Nancy, if you're reading this, it was fun talking to you. Sorry I couldn't talk more, I was in the "uncomfortably hard" stage most of the run. I was mad at the end because my garmin malfuncationed (or maybe I malfunctioned) and I didn't get any info for the run. I was curious of my average pace, but it's gone forever, so, oh well. Rachel and Eric were ahead of us the entire way, then Scott came passing us about halfway thru Bonanza (about 1/2 mile from the end), then Peggy passed us maybe a quarter mile from the end, or maybe a little longer from the end, I don't know for sure. Peggy was too nice to say it on her blog, but she (and Scott also) pretty much passed everyone (maybe not Rachel and Eric). But nobody else got us, we were glad for that. I felt pretty sick at the end for a minute or two (thanks everyone, you know it's a good run when you feel sick at the end), then we regrouped to run one of our standard two mile loops. I was pretty wasted, and my garmin malfunctioned again, so I didn't really get a lot of info on this run either. I think it took about 18 minutes. I know the last mile I averaged 8:51 (the garmin finally worked right). Kris, Debbie and I then ran back to the high school, and Kris said we got in 7 miles (her garmin worked ok). It was fun, I feel pretty tired right now. |
