Ran with Andy's cross country team at their practice. They were doing 2 x 2 mile repeats with easy mile warm up and an easy mile between sets. Goal pace was in the 6:40's. I kep up ok sort of in mid pack of the group. It was a lot of fun and I was glad I could basically keep up.
My splits ended up being: 6:47 and 6:52 for the first one, and then 6:43 and 6:45 for the second one.
After the two by two, we did 6 x 100m strides. Now, on those I was way behind. I think I might have kept up with one of the girls on the last one.

Ran with the Striders at Longleaf for the weekly "Humpday Hustle" which is a short run followed by meeting up at a nearby pizza place. This was my first time participating although I had been meaning to for a while but I'm either staying too late at work or I have the kids and can't make it on those weeks.
They had just changed the time from 6:00 to 7:00 which worked out for me, but main reason is because it's still pretty hot at 6:00. Actually 7:00 was still pretty hot (low 90's) but it felt almost reasonable for running.
It was a nice way to break up the mileage for the day and be social at the same time.
