7am and all is well

08mi, aidsmarathon

Distance: 8 miles
Run:Walk ratio: 5:1
Average pace: 11:00min/mile

When our training group switches over to 7am runs, we often have a few people miss it because they’ve completely forgotten about the time change. We still had nine zillion runners this week in our group, so that was the end of that idea! I took half the group out (Pam was running the Race for the Cure) and we did really well, staying on pace pretty much the whole way through. It’s a good group of people and while due to the numbers we’re all still getting to know each other, they seem nice.

Must remember to buy more Clif Shots later today. I’m down to my emergency Vanillas, and if that isn’t incentive, I don’t know what is. (Well, ok, I also have a box full of Apple Cinnamon Carb Booms but those I save for long runs to use as rewards, because they’re so delicious…)

  1. I’m glad you stuck to your pace. My group was sloooooooooow, averaging 13 minute miles. Our pace group leader was recovering from the flu.

  2. “I’m down to my emergency Vanillas”

    So if the rescue dogs for skiing are St. Bernards with kegs of whiskey… would the emergency dogs for runners be Greyhounds with packs of gels?
