Long slow run today.  I split this run into two pieces today because my Ragnar group was having a 7 mile training run this morning.  So I ran the first 8 with Megan around our house at about an 8:30/mile pace then I went and ran with the guys at a much slower back of the pack pace around 9:30/mile.  It was really humid today with the recent rain but it was short and long sleeve shirt weather again....gotta love that.  Felt okay for the most part and easily could have run the second part of this run much faster but decided to hang with our back of the pack guy and chat with him a bit.  Ordered some new shoes from St. George Running Company yesterday but they were out of stock so I won't see them for a couple of weeks.  Oh well, it will give me a chance to get every last mile out of my old shoes.  Megs ankle is still giving her fits but I saw the ice pack out when I got home so at least I know she is trying to RICE.  Better a little than none at all I guess.

Time:  2:14:55  8:59/mile

That's sweet that you saw the icepack! I hope she will ice more often and get that ankle to behave.

(Isn't it so much easier to tell others what they "should" be doing to heal than ourselves? Pretty crazy.)

Nice run today.

Wow Jeff, great run. I have a hard time splitting a long run into two parts. I did that a few weeks ago and I could barely move during the second run.
