I met with the group at Bingham High at 5:45. We ran the approximately 6.5 mile route I had picked out last summer. I tried to make the speedies start behind us so they would have to catch us and no one would get left too far behind. However, it didn't seem to work, because they caught us early on. I need to ask them to wait about 10 minutes before coming after us. I ran the entire time with Lisa Hardy. We had a nice time talking. The only problem is that I went just a little faster than I wanted to go. I kept thinking I needed to tell her I wanted to slow down, but you know how it goes, a little pride gets in the way and you just think you need to keep going fast. We ran (literally) into Michelle, Cheris and Debbie who said the speedies took a wrong street, so we bagged the last little bit of the run and just finished thru Prospector. I was more than happy to skip the last uphill street, although Prospector had its uphill also. Cheris and Michelle were talking about running Boston. Makes me think maybe I should go. That's something to think about. Anyway, it was a good run and I'm glad we got in almost 7 miles. |
