I really wanted to get 8 marathon paced miles in, so I talked Jerry into running with me this morning. We met Cheris, Michelle M., Jody, Nancy R. and Alan at Cheris' house at 5:30. We ran 2 warm up miles down to the trail. Jerry and I took off and ran the next 4 miles just above an 8 minute pace. There was a strong South wind. The others weren't far behind. We turned around and ran mostly together on the way back. Jerry talked Jody's ear off about baseball. I think he really enjoyed the run. Hopefully that means he will run with us more often. We cooled down the last 2 miles. It was a great run. I felt really good. My splits were 9:11, 9:08, 8:05, 8:07, 8:06, 8:17(This mile was slower because we were on 14400 and I moved over for a few cars to pass.), 7:49, 7:49, 7:27, 7:47, 8:37 and 9:11. |
