Yeah, that's right. 10.01, not more, not less. I could have stopped at my car at 9.88 and rounded up, but I was tougher than that, risking further frost bite and hypothermia, and the nasty .06 into the wind was one of the nastiest .06 I have ever run in my life. And this is why I don't round. If I log it, I have earned it ;) The really sad thing is I got a voicemail from Jamie last night wondering if we could run in Salem (closer to me!) and thus avoid the SF wind. I didn't get the voicemail until this morning and it was too late to call everyone else, and the SF wind was worse than usual. The starting temp was about 26F but the wind chill brought it down at least 10 degrees if not more. It was soo bad, sooo sooooo soooooo bad. Toward the end we just stopped our conversation, I think because we were all so miserable and were just trying to tough the rest of the run out. Ok, enough whining. Ali, Jamie and I started, then out popped Tara Fryer from her minivan and she joined us for our first three miles. I used to run quite a bit with Tara, and it looks like she might join our little group occasionally. It's nice to renew old friendships. No real hamstring pain, but it feels just kind of tempermental, like it wants to be injured, like a grouchy child. I don't know, it's hard to explain when you know you have a problem area but there's no real pain. Ave pace 8:13. Asics PS Thanks Jamie for letting me use your bathroom at the end. I hope the kidlets didn't wake up!
