I ran with Sasha, Tyler, Josse, Cody, and Steve this morning. It was the biggest group I have run with in quite a while. We were pacing Josse through the uneventful half and we started out at close to 7:00 pace. We were pretty much right on 7:00 pace through 6.6 (maybe a little slower) and then we slowly started to slow down until we hit about 7:50 pace around mile 10 or 11. We then sped up a little to about 7:30 pace for mile 12 and we hit the last mile in 7:03 to pace Josse through a 1:34:50 for the half marathon (Sasha had a 1:34:51 by his watch but I like the even number better and that is what my watch had). I then went out for 4 more miles after we finished. I ran the first 2 miles with Sasha, Steve, and Cody running a 5:46 and a 5:40. I then slowed down a bit and cruised back to Sasha's house alone for the last 2 miles running them in 12:54. Total time for 17.1 miles 1:59:10. |
