14 miles with Brandon and Patrick. Patrick went back around 12, while Brandon and I finished about 1.5-2 of the chark (chips/bark). Super fun run. Nice to run in a small group. Conversations ranged from the serious end of things to bathroom humor. Pace was not slow but it wasn't killer. Too fast for adequate recovery I'm guessing, but I am excusing it for wearing my compression socks, which I never use other than for recovery and that I am able to run with better form in a group. I pushed the pace a bit at mile 11 because I thought we were closer. 6:34 on that one. 7:18 overall.

I love how you can justify running faster than you should. I planned on wearing compression socks today but opted for the painful calves over the added layer of black heat absorbing clothing.

Great report on yesterday's race. Good to see you had better competition this year even though you're fitter now than the last years. Congrats again on the PR!

Yep, a bit too fast. That's about big boy recovery pace, not Jason recovery pace. I did well this last week running no APs faster than 8 minutes. Most were 8:20-8:40. I let it go today because I was running in a group and you can push things a bit sometimes, but you don't want to do it too often or you get stung.

I thought the socks would be warm, but I didn't notice them. When I took them off however...I could use a little less hair on my legs but I'm not sure Megan would approve of hair removal!

Ha! Natasha doesn't approve of the hair removal thing either. She doesn't buy that it'd make me faster.

I noticed you were mastering the recovery pace thing last week. Can't say I'd have done anything differently if I was running in a group.
