I ran 5.12 miles on my own and I ran out to the big blue mailbox but then I extended up the 200 meter hill into Payson and then I turned and headed for home. My legs were pretty dead but then seemed to loosen up after a little bit, IT band was marginal but not to much of a bother and achillies was about the same as it has been, getting better. After the run Ethan was waiting and wanting to go a few miles so we did, he is starting to get faster in his training runs, we ran out to the old barn via canal road and the average pace was 8:28 and a total time of 17:35 with him out front most of the time especially at the end when he was 40 to 50 seconds a ahead of me. I had one 8:00 mile with him so I am counting that as a marathon pace mile;) I finished up with some strength training on my upper body and then some push ups, all in all a good start to the week and to the new month. See ya tomorrow.
