AM - 21 miles. A big squad (15-20 guys, plus Devra - the lone female mixing it up with the dudes) met down in Riverton for a longer run on the JRP. Our total for 21 miles was 2:12, so ~6:17 pace average. Pretty amazing to be wearing a t-shirt in December... some guys were even shirtless towards the end. Had only planned on running 20, but Fritz and I stretched out the second out & back to mess w/ Kotter :-) Last mile was an inadvertent 5:15, which coincidentally USATF just decided is my new marathon goal pace. Really great morning... its so easy to get in the LRs with a group of great runners like this. The conversations make it fly by... and you always have to be on your toes because you never know when Matt decides its time to throw down a 5:05. Its awesome to see how excited everyone is about the spring marathon season - the enthusiasm with the group is contagious. Let's keep doing this all winter! *Got home just in time to watch the Foot Locker West Regional - Conner and Kramer both made it to Nationals!!! So exciting to see those two guys both up there in the front!!! Here's a PSA - 50% of Fro-Yo at the 21 & 21 Yogurt Stop!
