6.1 miles @ 11:16/mi. Neighborhood loops with Kevin, Larry, and Lyle.
It was great to be able to run with Larry and Lyle this morning. It's been a while. Larry and I started from my house then shortly met up with Kevin. Larry was just going short so we ran up and around the Northridge Park loop and back. Just before getting to Larry's house we ran into Lyle. He followed us to Larry's then Kevin and I looped up to Northridge Park again with Lyle. At the 4-way stop Kevin had to head back. I continued on with Lyle back to his house then added another couple of miles on my own, which included looping back up to Northridge Park a third time. Just before I left the park loop I saw a couple of runners go by pretty fast. I came out on the road and chased them down then pushed on to home,
The last 0.4 miles was at about 7:20 pace. The overall pace was only 11:16/mi., as Larry and Lyle are just getting back into running, but I didn't mind one bit. The both seem committed. I hope so. It was so nice being able to run and talk with them again.
