Today is "Take our Daughters to work day" today and so Tani is coming in with me to see what exciting lives software engineers lead. So with that going on I needed to get the entire run in this morning. Got up a bit earlier than usual so I could get 6 miles solo with a couple of 30s striders before meeting up with Kim to do a similar workout with her. Lovely weather for a run today, what the Bostonians might call a "NorEaster" type storm: windy, rainy, hail pellets for a while but by the time Kim and I finished it actually had calmed down quite a bit and we finished happy despite being soaked and having stepped in numerous puddles along the way. Oh well just another running adventure to tell the kids and grandkids (and fellow bloggers) about.

Ave pace for the solo 6 miles: 7:50. Not sure on average for final 5 miles. Somewhere around 9:30-9:40.

You keep racking up good miles. It is nice to see. If you can keep it up your St. G. time will be fun to see. Maybe I should come pace you through the 1st 18 miles until my legs cramp up.

Yes, the storm brought back some fond memories :) It's great to have some stories to tell the kids and grandkids. I just wish I'd taken a picture of you coming across Boston Commons with the poncho and the plastic bags covering your shoes and taped to your knees. That was a happy time.
