Did the regular ol' 10 mile loop with the Newtons today. We stuck together for the first mile, but when the temple hill came I got left in the dust. Thankfully, Chad was willing to poke along with me, since George seemed to have a vengeance for the course today and wasn't even going to stop to regroup and Ronnie just kept up his pace. I always feel like a turd when I'm the back of the group. I don't know why. I know I'm slower than most of the group, but I hate feeling like someone has to not get a good workout in just to hang with me because I'm the only girl and they are nice gentlemen and won't leave me to the mtn lions :) It turned out not to be a very badly paced run. You know me, I never look at the garmin unless I have to, so I didn't know time/splits until the end and that is when I figured George just had something to get out of his system today! AP: 8:08 splits: 8:26, 8:02 (temple hill), 7:52, 8:17, 8:51 (Maverik hill), 8:30, 7:52, 7:43, 7:52, 7:50. I really feel like I fell into a good rhythm on the way home, which is kind of nice to see that my splits were good 7:50's on the way home without trying to push anything or think about it! Nice to have some speed coming back. Chad and I did have to stop at practically every light and George and Ronnie breezed through, so that made the separation greater, but when Chad and I came rolling in Ronnie stood on the sidewalk as he walked home and cheered us on, funny boy! Just as perspective their AP was 7:46 for the 10 miles. Sheesh boys! It isn't a race...most days :) Came home and after getting kids off took a little nap, which was nice because hubby was working from home! Then he had to take off at 9:45 so I got ready and Adam and I took a little bike ride to and from Music class. I figured 10 nearly tempo miles was a good workout for the day.
