Really fun run this morning. I met up with a huge group and we drove up 23 miles and ran back down to the finish line. I was really tired this morning but I felt okay once I started running. I am planning on pacing (Clyde might help too:) )a 3:00 group for the marathon and so I practiced that today with Wildbull who is in that group. Everyone kept the pace nice and relaxed for 10+ miles and then we all started to pick it up. I made Bill stay right behind so I could pace him and then hand water to him when he needed it. Paul H. also ran with us and then took off and did a great job finishing the run ahead of us. I wore my racing flats for the first time in a long time so it felt good to have those on. My calves tightened up a little bit but I felt good after the run. Bill did a great job this morning. I am just trying to get in the miles so my body can handle some other workouts later on. It is nice though just doing mileage instead of any major speed workouts. It should be fun pacing everyone who wants to break 3 hours at the marathon. I am contemplating wearing Bill's blow up doll so everyone can find Clyde and me but I want to make sure it is family appropriate! This was another great week of running.
