Notes
Had 5 stops on this long run. One for Casey, then Janine for the bathroom, then the turn around leaving Emily, Brian, and Janine, then Angela Bathroom, Then the 13.5 mile mark and started again with ... I forgot her name, I think it's Japanese. Other than that ran with Angie and her friend for almost entire run, until we started our hard at the 16.6 mile mark (3.8 to go). I hung for one, but that was it, she was gone. Still a great 18 run. The stops I think hurt me more than help because I tighten up. I did get another 1/2 mile hard in up the hill like I normally do, 14 mile mark then over the bridge. Tough run but at least I didn't walk or add any additional stops. It was definitely faster... But good to stay humble with running with the E team. Other runners were Stacey and Gary for a bit, and got passed by Chad and Steven. Better, but still a ways to go. Shoes don't have any cushion but they seem to work well for me. They actually feel softer after every stop, but the harden up again. I think it's good because I have better from. Kurt said he thought they were too hard but ran CIM in them. I think they are a good Long run and Long run with Tempo shoe.
