AM - 21 miles. Met up with the biggest long run crew ever down at Riverton Park. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that there were ~35 people there. Obviously I'm not going to list all the names, but we had a ton of bloggers. It was a lot of fun and a great group of guys to run with this morning. We started off by running the Riverton 1/2 marathon course, which has a bunch of short, steep uphills. The first 12 miles were at ~6:30 pace, then Matt decided to string it out, so we ran the 13th mile in 5:25. Got a drink at the cars, then headed back out with a goal of going slower, but everyone remaining in the group was feeling pretty good and we ran ~6:25 pace for the next 7 miles. Fritz was willing to throw down a slightly faster last mile (5:12) with me to finish it off. Thanks to everyone that came out... good synergy out there this morning! I love when we can get so many good good runners, working towards a common goal, out there pushing each other. PM - 4 miles shakeout, very easy.
