For the run today we met at Ken's house. The plan was to run 140 minutes easy. The group this time was Ken, Jon, Bret F and me. Bret only wanted to go an hour so we headed out South for 30 minutes came back and dropped him off then headed north. It was a good run. We had a lot of variety as far as running surface went. We ran on paved roads, single track trails, gravel pathways, wood chip path, dirt road, some grass, and we even went through a cave/tunnel.

We went no breakfast, no gels, and no water for the run, so by the end we were starving and Ken and Janae were nice enough to prepare us breakfast after at Ken's house. Great run!

Always great to get in a long run like that. Strong work.

Thanks Matt. It looks like you guys had a great one this morning too!

Also, thanks for trying to get one of my training partners back out running (Ben). I talked to him the other day and he's been super grateful for your help.

Yeah, we had a great run this morning also. Would have been fun to have you there. And no problem at all -- we've got to get Ben healthy. He's too good of a runner to be injured right now.
