What a wonderful day for run. Met up with the chumps again. Johnny V, John D, Rick, Teena, RivertonPaul and someone new Jodi I think met up for a run. Hung with John D and Rick for the first few miles since they were heading out faster. I wanted to hit my 17 miles and 8:00 pace if all possible. But figured I would keep it nice and easy for first few and last few. But try to push it a few miles at that pace if possible. So hanging with Rick and John was nice till they turned around after only 2.5 miles and hooked up with JohnnyV and Paul. And they were up to running my pace. So we kicked it up more and turned around at 5.5. Was alot of stops and regrouping but was still nice. So ran with a few different people at different times. Got back to the cars at 11 miles and wanted to hit 2 more miles at least at the 8 min pace. And pushed to get it and then figured I would just run back at JohnnyV's pace to the end. But we ran into Teena and Paul again. And Teena was feeling some tightness so Paul ran with me and we left the other 2 to walk it in. Started mile 15 at around 9:10 pace and we ended up making up for the lost time in the first .25 to bring it in. And then we decided to really push it the last mile. Was really awesome to run with Paul for this and have him push me the last bit. Kind of burned out half way through it. But held on till the end to finish under 7 mins so feel good for the effort for the run. And having Paul there really kept me going. Its been really nice to run with the Chumps its been alot of fun. Mile 1 8:11 Mile 2 8:12 Mile 3 8:12 Mile 4 7:58 Mile 5 8:02 Mile 6 8:44 Think I didnt stop it when we were talking about distance and stopped for a few. Because I am sure the paces were right with rest.
