Notes
Ran with a DIFFERENT person today! Navy grad, 14:15 guy in college, now more in the high 15 range seems like. He beat me by 20s at the Bridge Run (33:42) so he seems like a pretty awesome training partner, especially because he lives on the navy base making weeknight runs a possibility! He's definitely a cool dude and is dtf run a couple days each week which would be a huge boost. Pretty pumped!
We ran on the trails despite it having rained pretty heavily for a short period earlier in the day. Felt pretty decent overall. Puddles/mud must have slowed down my steps or something because watch's guesses at GPS-less splits were WAY past the typical landmarks. It wasn't a quick run or anything but I definitely went faster than I would have if I was alone since I didn't want to be holding back a former 14:15 guy! Correcting the distance because those spilts be bogus.
Bugs were HORRIBLE.
