7 miles @ 12:14/mi. Murdoch Trail north - with Larry, Nick, and John.

This was mostly a social run, except for the last mile that I ran in 7:58.

8 miles @ 11:33/mi. Murdoch Trail north.

Another social run with Nick and John. I ran the last mile in 8:32.

Running 12-14 minute pace seems to beat my body up much more than running at 8-9 minute pace. I enjoy the conversation, and the time on my feet is probably good marathon training, but I don't know how much of it my old joints can handle.

12.1 miles @ 8:58/mi. Solo to Vivian and back. Ran several miles with Kolby Wight on the way back. He was doing 18 miles and I could barely keep up. He pulled away at the end. I'll get back there. I feel good about sub-9:00 for 12 miles. Heading in the right direction.

Out: 10:02, 9:37, 9:41, 9:51, 9:41, 9:02
Back: 8:25, 8:17, 8:04, 8:23, 8:34, 8:15
