Lunch: 5.25 miles. Did some strides.
PM: 11 miles total, about 6 on the trails.
2 miles or so to Valley Green around 7:15 pace because I thought I was going to be late, but we waited a few minutes for the group trail run and ran just under 9 total with my warm up. The regular guys were there and kept the pace pretty honest, which felt good. I've been running 10:00-8:30 for my easy stuff and 5:00-5:30 for my fast stuff with nothing in between.
They had a beer tasting at Valley Green Inn, so we did that and had a few beers and some really good (if very small) smoked pork sliders. Hung out a while and then ran 2.25 home in the dark. Rather than feeling like crap (as I should have), I felt great even though my legs were stiff from sitting. Had a fun time, and the weather is perfect. Felt like I could have run for hours on the way home. Legs will likely be stiff in the morning from bombing some of the hills. It's a fun group and I feel like I am becoming more a part of Philadelphia (I don't really have any friends here, other than a few social events with colleages).
+ stretching and core (very late)
