17 miles, AP 7:25 on the last 17 miles of the SGM course! Holy crap, was not planning on running that fast! Rachel has been inviting me to group long runs for quite some time but I always have opted out because they start so stinkin' early! Today I went. :-) Met at the St. George Rec. center at 4:30 a.m. Cockadoodledoo!!! A bunch of us jumped in a back of a pickup and headed up the route 17 miles. I started running with Rachel and Misty but ended up running most of my miles with Nicole and Casey (Nicole is crazy fast and was running a bit slower today .. she will run a sub 3 at SGM). It was definitely a push for me to keep that pace (even with two water breaks and no Veyo hill). Faster than I plan on running the marathon for sure. And the crazy thing is that after we finished Nicole went out for an additional five miles at a 6:00 minute pace! CRAZY!!!!! Anyway, I think I will start running with this group more. There was probably around 14 of us and they were all FANTASTIC! :-) Happy Saturday, All. Definitely not running tomorrow! :-) |
