Notes
Prairie Path LR with DW. Started at Dan's house with a big group and headed west. Damon and Ryan had 11 easy, 2x4 MP, and my plan was to do the first 4mi with them and do 3 more steady miles after. Felt pretty good early on, had to stop to go to the bathroom at like 9 so I ran a fast mile to catch up then we started. Got out of the gate hard and I was really working to try and stay with them. After about a mile I was struggling to keep up so I let them get away. Tried to just keep it steady and got a second wind after recovering a bit on mile 2. They ended up running like 5:20s the rest of the way anyway so I had to just settle with running alone. After 4 just tried to keep the pace honest and fell into 6' pace pretty naturally. Body was tired by then so I just tried to hold it there til the end. Had a good time eating bagels and chatting with everyone after in dan's house.
