I was able to get out just after 8:30 or so and I headed out to GU corner via canal road, the pace was pretty upbeat, at least for me it was at my current fitness level;) I had 2 8:16 miles in there and then I had 2 sub 8 minute miles after that 7:54, 7:58 and my average pace for the first 8 Miles was sub 8:20. I was able to talk to Michelle at GU corner and she seems to be running really strong right now. After my 2 mile loop down in the river-bottoms I headed back to GU corner and then I notice my Brother Curtis was making his way up to me so I waited for him. My calf's were really bothering me so I just cruised in with him and we kept the pace nice and easy, those miles were 9:26, 9:47, 9:37, 9:09, it was nice to run with him again its been a while. My back was pretty good today so the extra day off yesterday seemed to help it out, but my darn calf's are just giving me problems I don't know if I need new shoes or if its some other thing like I'm not getting hydrated enough, I can't seem to figure it out. Maybe I'll get some new shoes and see if that will help, I only have around 300 miles on the ones that I have so I just don't know. After the run I went to my son Ethan's basketball game and they did really well today and Ethan had a good game too. I have challenged him to start running again and he is running 2 miles on the treadmill every day so that's good to see. My average pace for the whole run was 8:44 with My HR average at 146, total time was 1:45:14. See ya Monday.
