I asked newtons if they'd wait for me and run with me and not ahead of me...I didn't get any answers, so I took the silence as an answer that they didn't want to run slow even if I was trying to hit a good pace. So, I just left early like normal. No company for me.
I ran the full loop alone. But I had my mace the entire time :) I did stop and wait, expecting the group to catch me at any turn, but I never even saw them. I finished and then walked back to the corner and saw Chad barreling down the street. He was hitting a good stride! Then Mel and Dave weren't very far behind him. They finished in 1:04 and I was 1:11:36 - so faster than normal, but nothing "fast" for me. Good thing I started early. We chatted afterward and it was nice to visit even if I don't get to run with them anymore.
8:46 AP 10:26 (this mile was LONG!) 9:39, 9:51, 9:01, 8:17, 8:17, 7:36, 7:16, 7:10
I then got kids up and off to school and Kristy brought Taylee over. I then fed her and packed her up in the stroller and did a 5K (which we had to cut short, to 2.85) with byewing. My sister lives right by me now, but she always ditches me on her runs! It was nice to run with her, even at an 11:08 AP
I then did boxing and legs at the gym. Cyle announced that Saturday would be his last day...kind of bums me out. I am going to miss my boxing/lift coach. A LOT!
