Notes

Awesome run today with Kris! Weather was perfect for running. Took it out easy from OMSI and gradually picked up the pace throughout the run. Hips felt just as good as they did yesterday which was a good sign. Pace felt tough during the sub 7 min segments only because this is my 3rd run back. Stopped at the Masoleum for a 3 min break and then headed back. Kris and I decided to run conservatively until the 1 mile to go mark. From there we had an incredible stretch with me latching on to Kris's back for dear life. Somehow I managed to stick with it and pull even with him with 800m to go. By then the pace was well under 6 min. and we were dropping the hammer. with 200 to go Kris made a move by OMSI and I responded with all that I had left. It got ugly as we kicked it in hard but finished together at the line. It was awesome! Didn't expect that I still had that kind of speed and fitness in me but Kris brought it out. It made me excited to run again and I'm sure jazzed Kris up as well. I think I will do the smart thing now and take tomorrow off just to be safe. I'm not really suppose to be pushing myself this hard so soon so I think its a good decision. I will shoot for 5 days of running this week nothing more. Ran in the new Brooks Adrenaline 10's that John from work gave me. I liked them a lot! I will resume EASY training on saturday & sunday.
