Notes
met up with Greg M for a long. 10 easy, 10 at 7:20-7:30 and 2 down was the plan. I was very unsure of this because its been a while since I have run this hard and just two weeks out from Pumpkinman. I have been told two week recovery and today marked two weeks there and then 3 three weeks out from baystate so it was kind of a big deal.
Started running and mile 5 I knew I was good, I felt good, rested, it felt easy, very easy holding 8's. Greg said it was up to me to hold pace, he would follow me. Mile 10 we started and my watch was not reading well, it was every where so I had to go with what I felt was right. My watch never came around, but I was getting the mile splits, I saw a couple that were under 7:20 but greg was right there and not complaining so I went with it. Mile 20 was right into the wind after a nice uphill on mile 19 and it started to catch up to me. I was thankful when it was done, but mile 21 running 8:00 I felt I could keep going for a while, Greg picked up for the last one and well I didn't want to but wasn't letting him ditch me then where I had led the way so I held on. The whole run was great, I love these days, lets hope I can pull this out of my ass in 3 weeks.
