Ran with fellow fastrunningbloger Clay today. It's nice to meet people in person that you know from the blog so you can put a name with an actual person. Met up with Clay at my house just before 5:00 am and we went for a 7 mile run around my neck of the woods. Clay is in town on vacation with his wife from Northern Utah. We ran a loop around my subdivision and then took off and did a loop that my wife and I usually do on the weekend. It was a little cooler than normal this morning and there was a little bit of a breeze to boot so running today was not as uncomfortable as it has been. The hip and back were feeling better today but still could use more rest, I will be taking it day to day at this point. Ran a little faster pace to start than I normally would but I think that happens when you run with someone new. We settled in after a couple of miles and finished with an average pace just under 8:30.
Time: 8:29/mile |
