Standard Monday morning run with Kevin, Kent, and Larry. I forgot to set my alarm, but luckily I woke up about 5:38 (we leave at 5:45). I hustled to get ready but with my running clothes in the dryer, and the delay from a bathroom stop, I got outside just as they passed my house (we start half a block up at the corner). My GPS hadn't sync-ed so I decided to jog to the start corner, wait for the GPS, and see how long it took me to catch them. I started at about a 6:00 pace, slowed considerably as I went uphill, but managed to get back to a 6:00 pace until I caught them about one mile in. Starting so quickly really zapped me. I took the rest of the run fairly easy. Average pace about 8:30. |
