As soon as we headed out today my legs told me today would be a recovery run, nice and slow.  That was okay with me.  We warmed up for 1.5 miles and then I let Paula go ahead.  I tried to keep the space between us the same.  This was working out really well for me because it wouldn't allow me to pick up the pace or push it more than I should for a recovery run.  At mile 5 I looked up and she was way ahead of me.  I picked it up and with a little help from Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" this child of the 80's caught back up to her.  We finished up and then I added on to give me 8 for the day.
