6.3 miles @ 9:19/mi. Murdock trail north with Kevin.

We both felt the effects of the "spring forward" time change, but we both managed to get out of bed and get out to run.

Sick day. Slept most of the day.

6.2 miles @ 9:12/mi. Murdock trail north with Kevin.

The anti-vehicle gates on the trail, which were open for winter, are closed again. I guess that's a sign of spring.

It was encouraging to note this morning that we were running at an easy pace that we thought was around 9:30 or 10:00/mi but it was actually around 9:00/mi. Let's hope that continues. I would love for 7:30 pace to be my easy pace.

Kevin and I ran 12 miles (including 0.6 to his house):
9:35, 9:07, 8:38, 8:42, 8:43, 8:41, 8:40, 8:35, 8:36, 8:40, 7:21, 9:10

As we were pushing mile 11 we passed Larry & Jolene running the other direction. We were about 3/4 mile into our 1 mile threshold pace push so we greeted them but told them we couldn't stop. After finishing that mile in 7:21 we decided to go chase them down. Larry's just getting back to running so they weren't going especially fast.

I was beat and could only manage 9:10 pace. Kevin ran ahead and caught them before me. I ended up running about 3.5 miles with them then a little more back to my house. These were slow miles, but it so nice to be running and chatting with them again.

I was tired and slow miles are always harder than faster miles. I was planning on 13.1 miles in a little under 2 hours. Instead, I went 15.7 miles in a little over 2.5 hours. I guess it's good "time on your feet" marathon training.
