I ran 13 miles at 7:51 pace. I tried to keep the pace comfortable and it felt that way until the last 3 or 4 miles I could tell I haven't run this far since the SGM 3 months ago. I picked it up on the last mile to 7:18. My back felt great. My hip was a bit sore but never got any worse.

Nice run Dave. You should easily be able to go under 1:40 at Painter's, probably in the low 1:30s knowing your past race performances. Injuries or no injuries you will do well.

Thanks jeff I'm hoping To run low 1;30s or better but who knows.
