9 @ 9 @ 9 (9.0 miles @ 9:00/mi @ 9:00am)
Thursday was 6 miles @ 9:42/mi. Last Saturday was 8 miles @ 9:27/mi. I'm pleased with my progress.
It really helped to not be in a jacket and long pants, with temps in the 40's instead of 20's. Mostly it helped to run with Kevin, who can idle at my current pace. Near the end his dog Dash stopped (again) to poop. When he caught up again a woman named April had joined him. We talked about her running Boston next month. I had to pick up my pace to not slow them too much. It helped me finish strong.
