5:00pm run with Joe Bell in Columbus. Nice to run with an old friend. Very inspiring as well. Joe is an amazing runner. It's nice to talk about the sport with him. However, since I'm a little frustrated right now, I'm sure I'm not the best of company. Sorry Joe. Hopefully I wasn't too much of a negative nanny.
The pace felt very comfortable which is puzzling to me. Temp was in the middle 80's and very sunny. Averaged 8:40 mpm which granted is not a land speed record, but I have been struggling to maintain a 10 minute pace. Now to figure out what is going on. Is it the hills, the elevation, the heat, the humidity, or just being solo while running???
My gameplan is to just put in as many miles as possible without worrying about pace. The irony is a 30 mile week feels huge whenever just a year or two ago, I could run 250 miles in a month and not think too much about it.
8:22, 8:25, 8:53, 8:43, 8:52
