Oops, almost forgot to put this down for my records. The 4-miler with the training group felt almost silly to have gotten up early for; it’s very easy to get blaise about this sort of thing after so many years! It was nice to be able to meet the new people in the running group, though, or rather groups since there were so many people in our pace time that we’re split into two. Our pace group leader was still trying to find footing for this particular speed; one mile we were thirty seconds under, the next one thirty seconds over, and so on. It’s a fine art to hitting those times just right but hopefully later jaunts down the W&OD as a group will go smoothly, given time.
