It was somewhere between cold and cool this morning. Starting temp about 42°. I wore an extra shirt, a skin tight body armour shirt underneath a long sleeve tech shirt. I met up with Joe at the Y just after 6:30 - I was supposed to be there at 6:30 but was running a few minutes late. Also started out with gloves and a hat. Bob was also there this morning. The three of us started out at a nice easy pace. It didn't feel that cold anymore after the first mile. Sometime along the way to the horse farm, Eric caught up with us and then passed us. We turned around from the horse farm to head back to the Y. It was nice to run with two other people. WE were at a conversational pace pretty much the whole way. After getting back to they Y, I ditched the hat and gloves. After an un-timed break, Joe, Bob, and I headed back out. Bob split off from us a little past a mile out as he was doing 12 today. Joe and I continued on to the horse farm again, turned around and came back. The pace picked up a little bit here and there but nothing too fast. The last mile was at 7:41 - although most of it was probably faster but we were caught by a traffic light. So, nothing fancy, just get the miles in without putting too much stress. Joe had hurt his back a week and a half ago but is back running. Average pace: 8:40 When I got home, I went into the pool for about 20 minutes to help loosen up, I felt a lot better after I did that.
