So my husband is doing a 20 miler today, and I thought I'd join him for a few of his later miles. I took him some gatorade and ran up and down the canyon with him. I didn't want to mess with his pace so we ran HIS speed. Therefore, today's miles are going in the fast miles column. I suppose it was what my son would call a tempo run. It was actually a bit of a revelation. We averaged about 8:40 a mile and I didn't die. The last little climb up to the top was rough, but I kept up. I was grateful to turn around and head back down, but we kept the pace consistent. Maybe a sub-25 5K is not totally out of the question. Right now I feel good; I'm happy with that!
