Group run with Scott, Mike, Fritz, Chris, Nate, and Nate. 6+ north from the cars at an easy pace. Then a little faster on the way back. Started the first 2 with Mike and Fritz at a touch over 6 minute pace. Mike took off for a 4 mile tempo at ~5:30 pace. I hung with Fritz for another mile plus. Then I slowed considerably and he sped up and eventually caught Mike. There was a bit of a headwind. Maybe 6:15-6-20 average for me for the 6 miles. Nothing to write home about, but I haven't done anything close to this fast in quite some time. We all re-grouped at the car and then headed south for a few more miles.
All in all, a good, fun run with great company. Felt good, but I'm far cry from being in any sort of good shape. Nothing quite like running with fast/talented people to help stoke the fire a little bit, and that's just what my running needs right now.
