12.25 with my neighbor (1 block down) Steve today. First time I've ran with him. He's an ultra. We've been trying to get together for a Friday run for a while. It was a great run, we're a good fit for each other, similar distances and times. This was a tougher run for me aerobically than it was for him, but the pace, being faster than he's used to was probably tougher on his legs than it was for me. I've got the strength and speed, but still working on that AB. Our splits were what I would consider somewhat up and down, but within 10 seconds of both sides of 7:30s. Our finish time, including a short .25 mile cool down was right at an average of exactly 7:30s. I had planned on running an easy 4.5 miles of stairs at work, but I was pretty crushed when it came down to it. I may or may not get out for a short run tomorrow, but if I don't, I'll probably do 2 mid-distance runs for a double on Sunday.
