Early Saturday morning out and back on Beach Drive with two guys from the Port Orchard Slugs running club. A lot of club members on that road this morning, we all met for breakfast afterward and there must have been 12 there. Good weather, not too cold and just a little wind. Three of us started at 8 min. pace or so, maybe a little slower, on the way out. We dropped one guy and kept on to the 5-mile mark, then headed back and got to feeling fast for some reason. I don't know the pace coming back in, but we were just short of the point of pushing and finished 10 miles in 75 minutes. 

My left hamstring has a little soreness and pull to it, felt better than it does on the treadmill though. I think it's time for new shoes, so I'll head to the store today. In retrospect I'm glad I decided to take a rest day Friday. Mileage increase was plenty, and I'll probably have a decent jump again next week since Monday is a holiday and next Saturday a guy wants me to join him for 16.

Nice run. I am looking forward to earning my bruger at Moab with you. I will send you my new address in American Fork and we could all car pool down or whatever from there.
