Eighty-six degrees tonight at 6 p.m. as we set out from Fleet Feet for the fun run. I think I'm really about to start missing my treadmill... The same 6-7 people show up -- four young guys in front, then me, then two women. Except that I got tired of looking at the back of the young guys and decided to catch them. Even Jason. Finally reeled them in with about half a mile to go on the last uphill, and actually beat Robbie and Jason. Nice. The pace wasn't horrible, 8:48 overall, but I'm still paying for Tuesday night's 200s, so it was tough to get loose. Basically that took two miles, then I decided to catch them. Last 1.9 miles were more like 8:34 pace.
Debbie came in at work and handed me a "PA Day" present from WB (never mind that PA Day is actually in October; Nurses Day is this week, and he thought he had to give the PAs something too). It was a $50 gift card to Fleet Feet! Nice! And timely, given that the Adizeros are just about shot and I have to get some shoes pretty soon. That card may get me about a shoe and a quarter free, and I'll swing the rest. |
