40F, cloudy, with a light misty rain during 1st and last 4 miles. Endurance run, club run, and Leg Builder Hill. I ran around my own neighborhood for a while, then down the Parkway to the club run. Old Snoqualmie and part of the Snoq. Valley Trail, then back up the hill and through Deer Park, then home. I was the only woman at our running club this week. At first, it looked like there was no one to run with at my pace, but I fell in step with this one guy, a man who is fairly new to the club. He was going pretty slowly, but that seemed like a good idea for today. We ran together for about 3.5 miles. During the last mile he was getting faster and faster, to the point where I was approaching my marathon pace to keep up with him. He always seemed to be a little ahead, so I was chatting with the back of his shoulder and trying to keep up. At the end of the run he said, "great to run with you - I never would have gone that fast without you." I was too shocked to make my snappy retort fast enough, but maybe I'll say something if he comes again. Tomorrow is the Seattle Marathon, and it looks like they might get dry weather this year. I am so very glad not to be running it, as always. |
