Picking up the pace a tiny bit

Start time: 05/04/05, 6:00pm
Location: W&OD Trail
Distance: 4 miles
Run:Walk ratio: 5:1
Average pace: 11:00min/mile

Now that it turns out that Julie’ll also be in the 11min/mile group with me, it was easy to convince her to push the pace up by thirty seconds or so. A beautiful day for running, just about perfect. Julie seems to be adjusting to the new pace well, which is nice to see. Going a little faster and closer to my old “maintenance run” speed, of course, is an added bonus. Right now I’m just enjoying being able to go running after work with Julie though, so that’s good. Eventually as it gets hotter I’ll probably shift back into running before work on my own before the temperature gets too high, mind you. (Additionally either this week or next I’m going to probably add in a Thursday running session by myself, now that I’ve looked over the speedwork guidelines for AIDS Marathon this year. Should be fun!)
