Well, all bike rides fell through this morning and I'm too much of a chicken to go by myself - I just know I'll die. So, I slept and waited for my running date with Becca. We should've gone earlier since I didn't have the bike to contend with, but hey - I need some heat training...right?
We started about 8:15 and it was already hot so the choice to go up and down Rose Canyon probably wasn't the best one. But, oh well - gotta love the hills! :) She got a good tour of the burned out area and we stopped a couple times to gawk around...yeah, thats it, we weren't hot and tired we were just looking at the scenery.
Once we turned and came back down it was SO much better, but I stil had to stop once to get a drink and cool down a bit. I was going to go a little further down the street to do 7.5, but as we neared home and I saw 7.25...well, I decided to stop. I was good.
It was a wonderful run with Becca! I sure do miss running with her all the time, I think I'm moving to Texas :) We stretched and chatted afterward, just a good time!! Thanks for driving all the way out Becca, lets do it again soon! :)
AP: 8:24 splits: 8:55, 9:16, 9:20, 8:35, 7:41, 7:30, 7:34, 8:21 - last quarter. I slowed down that last quarter purposefully. I was tired and hot. Becca however was still shivering cold in this freezing weather compared to Texas! :)
