I was out the door at just before 6am and I headed out towards Mini GU and I ran into Chad, Tom and Hal and they wanted me to run up over Harry's Hill with them so I did and then after Harry's we picked up Pat Loss and we all ran together. It was a fun run and they kept the pace pretty honest and for sure up beat, at least for me anyway, I had some sub 8 Minute miles in there with some of the downhill. Those were 7:35, 8:00, 7:54, anything 8 minute mile or less is MP miles for me so I'm counting them as such. Ran into my Brother Curtis and his son Bryan and Curtis decided to push the pace and it almost killed me, I don't know what he was thinking, I think his getting faster in his old age! HAHA! Chad picked me up after 14.50 miles and dropped me at the stake center and I ran back to the house which gave me 15 even. My Gatorade that I had stashed was nice and slushy so I got a drink and decided to tack on a another mile, I felt like I could have keep going but decided to stop. The plan is to build slowly up to the 18 and 20 milers but my last mile was 7:54 so I was pretty proud of myself after a nice hard workout I still had a little zip in the old legs. They were zippy for me anyway!!! My average pace was 8:26 with a total time of 2:15:53. it was a good workout! See ya Monday.
