Today’s official run was a bit slow–we got caught behind another group and first tried leapfrogging, then trying to slow down a little bit to let them get ahead… finally we just had to pass them entirely. No sooner had we done that than someone needed a bathroom break, 3.5 miles in. *sigh* Ah well, my first year I know it took a little while to get hydration under control.
Afterwards, Mark and I went and knocked out three more miles. We weren’t aiming to go any faster, but as you can see clearly did. There’s a small part of me that wonders if I should’ve gone with the 10:30min/mile group, but ah well! Better safe than sorry and in agony this August.
I thought that was you going back out as we were coming in. I was like, I recognize that guy! 🙂 (me: white teeshirt, black pants and glasses in a group of four)
Yay! Definitely head on over to the 11:00 group area before we start on Saturday and say hey. 🙂 If last week is any indication, I’ll be the one running late. (Yeesh. You think I’d be used to getting up that early by now!)
