Met at Clyde's house and ran with Steve, Dave, Clyde, Aaron, Nick, Bill, Amber, and her friend from across town. We did 2 x 10 mile loops. The route is not the easiest but would be great for a workout. We took the first loop real easy and then picked it up the 2nd. I stayed with Aaron and Nick for the first couple miles and then dropped to about 15-20 yards behind them. I was feeling strong but then 7 miles into the 2nd loop I started getting blisters on the bottom of both my feet. I slowed down and pushed it in with Dave. My feet were not feeling good. I hit low 5:30's for the 7 miles and kept it honest for the rest. I averaged 6:31/mile overall. I wish I could have finished stronger but with the heat and my socks, blisters were likely to occur. It was a nice way to end the week. Hopefully I can stay healthy and keep hitting solid workouts.
