13.1 miles 1:36:47 7:23 ave pace 7:06 7:04 7:05 7:17 7:03 7:12 7:13 7:15 7:27 7:49 7:34 7:53 7:55 I ran with two other guys, one was much faster than I am, the second guy, to my surprise, turned out to be faster than I was today. The run was for the 2nd guy, it was a training run for him and he invited me to push him. Turns out I blew up toward the end. When he told me he wanted to ave a 7:15 pace I told him I probably can't do that, I thought for sure he would not be able to do it either because I've been a little faster than he in the past. It was humbling to be dropped. 7:15 is pretty much a half marathon race pace for me, so for me to ave 7:23 this wasn't too bad considering I was not race ready. As for my friend, I was happy for him, we haven't run together since last winter, he's improved and probably faster than I am. Good thing his not in my age group! |
