This was nice and quick. went with my neighbor it really helped to push me and keep me going. the AP was 8:07/mile and finished in 56:50. The route was mostly flat. My pf was aggravated afterwards. I wanted to run wasson peak again but we are comping tomorrow so this was a nice alternative run.

I've found 2 things very useful for PF issues. First, get a Strassburg sock and wear it to sleep. Second, if you know or suspect your PF is going to be sore, tape it with kenisio tape before you go. That stuff is magical.

Good job on the run. 7 miles in 56 minutes is pretty quick.
