Beautiful weather day this morning, a bit chilly at the start but no wind and after the sun came out it was near perfect for a good long run. Met up with the SF group and got in about 7 miles with Kim and a few others, then I went the rest of the way with the speedy guy group that started out with half dozen or so guys but ended up mostly me and Hal and Kevin. Had a reunion with my old long-lost running buddy Harry (as in "Harry's Hill"). I haven't run Harry's for about 8-9 months and it seemed tougher than it should have been, but I did manage to hold a sub-9 pace which I think is better than what I ever used to do in years gone by. I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of Harry in the weeks/months to come. I'm hoping the SGM folks didn't burn me yet again. I have an email from a couple months ago saying that I have a guaranteed 'in' for the race this year but yet I don't see mine or Kim's name on the lottery list. We've both decided to not only work our fanny's off in training but also work our fanny's to find a way to get us both into the marathon. Ave pace: 8:29.
