Lyle passed me in the opposite direction as I headed to the corner this morning. I said hello but resisted the temptation to run with him just in case someone was waiting for me at the corner. Nobody was there so I cut over to Main St. in hopes of catching Lyle. He often runs the neighborhood 5K course. I guessed correctly and ran with Lyle for about 3 miles. I very much enjoyed his company.

Lyle said he was going slow because he had a cold. We averaged 9:15/mi together. After he dropped off I slowed to around 9:35/mi for the next 3 miles of wandering I did around nearby streets.

The PF was no worse after the harder run on Saturday.

Good to see the PF is no worse. I once took a month off of running and the PF didn't improve at all. I then went to active recovery mode and tried all the tricks I could think of and it got better. Smart active recover is what Dr. Bean recommends.
