Met up with the group for a 12-miler this morning, or rather, two 6-milers. Ran the first one with Steve and Monica; both had races last weekend (Savageman Triathlon and Air Force Marathon) and it was nice to hear how each race went. Before long we were back at the start point, and Monica headed out while Stephanie, John, Bill, and Ben jumped in. It wasn’t a bad run (although due to a surprise bathroom break for one member there is a particularly long mile in there), but towards the end I was itching to move a little faster and I ended up picking up the pace a tiny bit with Bill and Stephanie. When the group is large enough it’s nice to have that option, at least. (I do love my group but there are mornings when I wish everyone was equally eager to pick up the pace a tiny bit. Fortunately that was in the cards for the end today.)
