Larry and I got out at 5:45am this morning for the first time in a couple of weeks. It was an enjoyable run. We solved a number of the world's problems again. It was still a little cold (23 degrees), but it was ten degrees warmer than last week (13 degrees) with much better air to breathe. The weather was in the mid-30's and sunny at lunchtime so I couldn't resist running again. I started the Eagle's View run with Cory, Darin, and Steve King. At the turn up to Eagle's View Darin and Steve decided to go on north and run a little farther. I think they ended up doing 8 or 9 miles. Cory and I went a ahead and finished the 5 mile Eagle's View run. Except for the first bit, Cory and I pushed fairly hard most of the way. The last 1.6 miles in from State Street we averaged 7:18/mi. My last 4 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) So my run last Monday was a little faster, but today I had already run 6 miles this morning. I recovered a lot faster today than last Monday, meaning I must not have worked as hard. Overall, I feel good about today's run. Even though Cory's training has been down because of his sore foot, he ran strong today.
