Ran this with Lou and Andrew (I never remember his last name). We started out with a couple other guys, but quickly separated ourselves. Lou was doing 10, and as the route hit about 5 miles, he turned back. Andrew and I kept on, and I really didn't start the day intending to hit the pace we did. After a while, it was just flowing, so to speak. On the out and back, we got water at the turnaround spot, and I told him I wasn't planning on running hard, just holding steady. We ran together another mile, and then I was on my own till the end. Good run, although I sorta paid the price later on. Nothing too bad...just some sore legs. I felt like I stretched pretty good, so nothing to worry about. All in all, helped me feel very good about my fitness and shape that I'm in. Great run.
