Lunch - 5.1 easy miles outside, average pace of 7:45/mile. Legs felt fresher than on Saturday, but didn't have all of their "pop" back. Aerobically was an easy run. Went into the fitness center afterwards and did 2 X 1:30 forward planks, and 1:00 on each side. Abs and arms were both quivering at the end. Nothing else to report - looking forward to running with the boys this afternoon. PM - 1.5 miles with Samuel, he set another personal record - average pace of 9:43/mile for the entire run. I think he is gaining confidence, and I have noticed that his breathing has also improved, although his form still leaves somewhat to be desired. Afterwards, ran 0.65 with Joey, average pace of 10:20/mile - still well under his smoothie pace. He also did most of the run without holding my hand. In fact, if I hadn't stupidly mentioned how well he was doing on his own, he may well have forgotten about it . . . afterwards did 0.25 with Adam at about 14:30 pace.
