Outside run, over 90 F according to the airport but it felt like upper 80s.  I met Mike from the blog, and his friends Antonio and Pete at 4:30am.  It was nice running with other people, and it kept me going.  Once we hit 8 miles (my max so far since April) I started dying and we all sort of split up around mile 9.  I shuffled in around a 9:00 pace for the last mile or so while Antonio took off and Mike tried to catch him.  They are definitely in great shape and I definitely have some work to do.  8:44 AP.

Awesome job on your first long run in a while-that is great that you found some bloggers over there! That is some tough heat for a long run!

Way to hammer it out! Keep it up.

Looking great over there. That's nice to find some really fast guys to run with once in a while.

Sounds like it was an awesome, yet humbling run! You'll get back there soon! But man--that distance in that heat? You did great!

Great pace.

Was Mike wearing his pink outfit? I told you he was the funniest guy on the blog.

From Mike on Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 04:10:46 from 155.85.58.253

Hills on Wed. Same time and place. We could use someone else to commiserate with.

Burt,

The pink outfit is for special occasions only. I suppose meeting Joe for the first time was special. Dang, I wish I thought of it beforehand.
