10 miles again. Legs are feeling better. I was able to bust out a 7:20 AP! Boom! My first mile was 8:35. This old lady is taking a long time to warm up these days. 

Jake sighting #2. I had to use the bathroom so I made a pit stop in a bush at a church (#heavenlypee) and when I emerged from said bush, I saw Jake (or his clone, who can really tell these days) riding by on his bike. I yelled...I screamed...but alas, it was all in vain. He didn't hear me. My heart ached for a moment, but I told myself to chin up and continue on. So that is what I did...because I am a fighter.

10 miles with Rebekah so we were speedy. 7:05 AP. Our first mile was a 7:50 and the rest were right at 7:00 or below. We even knocked out a couple 6:45's. I am not feeling fast these days. This was pretty uncomfortable for me.
