I ran out to the river bottoms via canal road and the pace was up beat, after hitting my 5 mile mark I ran into Tyler and we chatted for minute and then he went up around the golf course, I tried to stay with him but after about 20 yards I was done;) I did keep a gap and it felt like he was pulling me along that little two mile loop I had splits of 7:48 and 7:52. After that I headed back to GU corner and fueled up and ran into Tyler again and we ran from GU corner back to my house and the pace was a little taxing for me but Tyler wasn't even breathing hard;) the splits running with him were: 8:02(146), 8:13(151), 8:00(152), 7:44(156). I thought we were going faster than that mainly because of my breathing, but it was still fun. After running with him I ran out to the old barn and back which is a two mile loop just to finish up and those splits were, 8:07(151) and 8:26(150). My average pace for the run was 8:13 and my HR average was 148, total time was 1:56:00 even. I would like to thank Tyler for running with me it was really fun, he's in great shape right now. After the run I jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes at a hard pace RPM was above 95 to 100 and then after the elliptical I finished with some strength training on my upper body. I feel really good about the run today, see ya Monday.
