LONG RUN with Reed. We ran from Reeds house in AF to the Murdock trail and headed south until we hit 10m and then headed back. No wind! I reluctantly decided to throw in some marathon pace effort. Reed and I did the first mile together and I eased into my pace. Ended up with 7 miles on very gentle rollers coming north on Murdock. I then, Ran a half mile back to catch up with Reed and then finished it out to his house.

Splits: 5:44, 5:32, 5:33, 5:32, 5:34, 5:35, 5:31 (5:35 avg)

I felt surprisingly good. Highlight of the run was the fresh maple bar from Daylight Donuts that Reed's wife kindly offered after we got back.

Nice LR Smooth. What are you training for? What's the race schedule look like? MIH

Thanks, Spencer. Not sure...need to find something. I guess I'm just training for the fun of it!

Love it. Keep it up. I am happy you and Reed are having some fun. Hopefully the crew will be back all together one day. My hip impingement really finally feels so much better. Now to lose this darn weight again and find some consistency. Should get really fun though. Looking forward to really training again. MIH

Yeah, the group kind of died when Matt got injured :( We'll get back at it. Can't wait to have you out with us again!
