22 miles...good confidence booster. I met James and Emily at Liberty Park and we ran up to the U and ran the SL Half course. James did a tempo in the middle of the run while Emily and I decided to run a "1/3's" long run...easy the first 1/3, medium effort the second 1/3 and push the last 1/3. We didn't stick perfectly to the plan but we ran miles 6-18 just under 6:40 AP. Not too shabby.
7:47, 7:50, 7:57, 7:51, 7:15, 7:02, 6:49, 6:44, 6:28, 6:46
6:55, 6:38, 6:50, 6:49, 6:48, 6:20, 6:33, 6:22, 7:15, 7:18, 7:10, 6:58
7:02 AP.
I love running with James and Emily. James has come SO far since I started running with him a few months ago. He is a monster when he runs up hills...I was super impressed today with his effort and he hung in there even though he wasn't feeling great. Emily continues to push me every time we run. She has been running longer tempo's and I can tell they are paying off because she was super strong today. Plus, they both are easy to talk to and don't judge me even if I say a few swear words or talk about getting drunk. They are awesome running friends.
And we ran by Allie's old house...twice. I waved at her neighbor who was outside watering her yard with a garden hose while smoking a joint.
