Met the BBK group at Parkway Pallisades this morning. I couldn't believe the turn out. I think there were 18 or 19 of us- WOW! We did 3 easy miles on the river trail to warm up. My splits were 9:21, 8:53 and 8:50. We then ran up Parkway Pallisades starting at a comfortable pace and then picking it up as the mile progressed- 8:19. The next two miles were a hilly loop. I was trying to keep up with Peggy and Lynette on this one but didn't quite succeed. My splits were 7:34 and 7:30. I guess thats respectable for hills. I then ran to the top of Parkway Pallisades again and finally jogged back to Lifetime so I could get ready for work: 9:11, 4:29 (.52 mile). It turned out to be a challenging yet great run. I am always amazed at how good I feel the rest of the day, even after getting up at 4:30. I think I actually have more energy then on mornings when I sleep until 6.
