LONG RUN
We had an enormous group of runners meet up this morning (Dave, Jon, Bret, Bryant, Ben, Denver, Matt, Tim, and Kory). We mostly all ran the first five together, and then most of the group turned for a 10 mile route. Dave and I kept heading west and once all the others had turned for shorter routes we picked up the pace. We ran 9 miles (7-15) faster with a goal of a 6:00 average. But we got going quicker than we bargained for and just held that instead. I ran 9 miles in a 5:46 average (6:00 5:46 5:50 5:56 5:46 5:44 5:45 5:37 5:32) and then cooled down the last mile in like 30 mph headwind that all of the sudden came out of nowhere!
Denver and Dave both had probably their best runs since we all resumed training in December. Ben looked good coming back from his recent injury and Bryant ran like he hadn't missed a beat.
