Yesterday's threat of thunder storms caused a cancellation of any official meeting. I understand that about 6 members went down to Kelly Drive anyway and did manage to finish their miles before the really bad rain. Kudos to you all! sometimes I wish I had a crystal ball.
So this morning a few others (8 total) went to Oaks for an out and back of 9 miles. It was about 75 degrees and 78% humidity when I left the house. We could feel the humidity on the run but it sure was nice to have sun and not rain.
We ran as a group doing a mile at a time and then a walk break which seemed to work out fairly well. We missed the turn around (4.5 mile post) and so our total miles for the afternoon was 10. I really don't think there IS a 4.5 mile post - I always miss it anyway. Regardless, I was really happy to have company. It always makes the miles better.
I have to really work on starting slower. Today I thought I went out at a comfortable pace. It felt good. But by mile 3 I was losing steam. I think I need to start at 'comfortable' and take it back a notch on long runs. i'll try again next week.
