Had a great 20 mile run with the SF group this morning. Kim and I and everyone ran together for a few miles before the various pace groups went their ways. After going up Harry's I got a bit of a runner's high and was able to have a few miles of easy, effortless, fun running in the 6:45-7:30 pace range. It's been quite a while since I've felt this good so I hope I didn't overdo it. No pains during the fast running but toward the end after slowing down and after finishing I am feeling the familiar pains in the lower abs and groin. I've been doing the R I C E treatment and an ice bath awaits. Was wanting to keep the middle miles under 8-min pace if my body said it was OK. Ended up averaging 7:50 for the 15. Rest of the miles were mostly in the 8-9 range. Ran some of the faster miles solo and also some with a group consisting of Hal, Pat and Alison.
