I ran Eagles View with Tom today. Cory and Nathan also ran it but they had a meeting to get back for so they went out earlier. We passed them on their way back in.

Tom had me pushing so hard on the way out and up that I could barely carry on a conversation. On the way back I was able to catch my breath and push hard enough to set a new PR (barely) for this run this year, 37:53. We averaged about 7:56/mi out/up and 7:06/mi back/down. All these numbers are somewhat suspect as Tom's Garmin and mine didn't quite match up. Nevertheless, it was a good hard run and it was great running with Tom again. Maybe next time we can hook up with Cory and Nathan, and maybe Scott, too.

My last 5 Eagles View runs have been:

1/22: 41:57 (8:24/mi)

1/25: 39:48 (7:58/mi)

1/29: 37:58 (7:36/mi)

2/5: 39:48 (7:58/mi)

2/12: 37:53 (7:35/mi)
