Once again I was supposed to meet up with someone for a run but it did not work out. I had talked to Dixie on Sunday and thought it was all set up for today. However, I did not confirm things. I need to get better at this as that is now twice in a row. Anyway, the good part is that when you are trying to meet up with someone you get there on time. So, I showed up at the 7-11 near John Chestnut park, waited a few minutes and then got going on my run. Once again, I have found that the easy run on the day after a hard run feels easy - much easier than an easy run on a Monday. At the two mile point I saw a guy with a light on his hat, he said hi. It was Bob. As Bob has been training for the Boston Marathon I have been running into him more and more. He is running in a charity slot but has not taken his training lightly. In fact, I think he could actually qualify for Boston at this year's Boston. Anyway, we ran together about 5 miles before he had to turn right and I had to turn left. After we split off I picked it up slightly for the return trip back to the parking lot. The temp was about 55 degrees, beautiful weather for running. The run went by quickly but I didn't run too fast or too slow. Average pace: 8:34
