Up the course with Metler, Quinton Read and Reese. Decided to run 16+ so people wouldn’t be waiting for me. Just focused on being present every mile and not focus on the miles ahead. Felt smooth pretty much the entire run and didn’t notice the Winchester hill which is a good sign for fitness.

AM- Alpha Test 2. Hit 9 miles on the course with Jacobim. We both wanted to run with PV at 7 so we sacrificed some course miles. Felt really smooth and didn’t force anything. Just let the new shoes take me on a stroll. A dog came out of the darkness to run with me in the last mile. It wasn’t really aggressive but it did scare me so I told it to go home. Probably the last time on the course. Ran 6:27 pace after the first mile. 9.01 miles
