prlmanrunning

Met a group at Julie C's this morning with about 25 or so people and went for a group run.Started out good maybe a little faster than planned but still was ok.A couple miles in the faster guys were pulling away so I settled back to the second group of 8 or so that were still going at a good pace somewhere in the 745 to 8 range with the hills and all. I could feel the mileage form the week but was still plugging along.Once we hit the 7 mile or so (had my garmin but wasnt looking at it) I had settled into a good rhythm. Had told Kelli I was going to slow down a bit so I wouldnt burn out but she was convinced I was about the same pace as I had been all along. We got to a park somewhere around the 12 mile mark I stopped for water with everyone and while they were using the restroom I continued on.I lost them from there.Truth is I got lost ha ha and instead of turning up into Cedar hills I continued south into American fork and kept going oops. Several stops to look at my map which I couldnt read the streets on any way I finally had an epiphany and turned my garmin to map mode and followed streets until finally getting back to Julies. Wasted too much time stop and go the last miles but I made it back with about the same mileage as everyone else. So total time 2:45 with an 8:12 average with 700 ft climb in there is not too bad. My blister from the first of the week when I got mud and dirt in my crocks on sundays 14 miler then  kept running didnt bother me too much until after we were done. Have to try and get it healed up before the 15k tho. Really pleased with how the week went I increased my mileage and got some longer runs in without feeling trashed :)
