I ran with Larry and Jolene this morning. It was great getting back to the social side of running, even if it was only for a short time. I turned back after we had gone a little over a mile and they kept going. My body is feeling the stress of getting back to running after a long time off and I didn't want to over do it.

I ran 2.25 miles, avg. pace 11:23/mi. 

Mizuno Wave Rider 14 Miles: 2.25
