I was happy to run with Kimberlee again. I jump at any chance to run with her when she is in town. (She is the friend I wrote about who is letting me "babysit" her treadmill for the winter). Just a couple minutes into our run, Kimberlee and I met a woman who warned us that her dog was loose. About 400m later the dog ran up to us. Kimberlee held the dog while we both walked back until the owner came back with her car. It is the least we could do. The dog was really sweet and it's the only way I can pay back all the people who have done the same for me with our dog. We had to cut the run short because Kimberlee had to catch a flight. We ran 6.48 miles in 59:57. Pace average 9:14. That's including all the time we took with the dog. Not sure what our real pace was but it felt fast. Definitely faster than our early morning, freezing cold, winter runs! It could have been because we were trying to make up lost time. I also had a lot of adrenaline from having to discuss home improvements right before the run. But that is another story... I came home and finished 1.5 miles on the treadmill to make it to 8 miles. This was at 8:00 pace. By the way, Kimberlee, Baby Tready is doing well. Thanks again! Side Note: I'm losing my toenail again. This is the 3rd time with this toenail! I guess that is one consequence of having an "artistic" toe. (When the second is longer than the big toe). It was accidentally stepped on it after the run. All I can say is PAIN! I'm going to try taping my toes before my next long run.
