I do want to point out one thing about last night's run -- although I *think* I ran an 8:20-8:25 pace, it was no walk in the park. I was beat. I was *happy* I had to wait 2-3 minutes at the intersection going out, and happy I had to wait 1-2 minutes at the same intersection coming back. I was beat at the end. I wasn't going race pace, but I was close. *That* is the biggest thing to (re) learn about running with a group -- don't go too fast. I could handle it, but it was definitely a hard run.
Tonight? Another evening run. My Number One Son had another sports practice tonight, so I took the opportunity to get another run in. Where he practices is roughly 1.2 miles from a path going to Ellanor C. Lawrence park (according to my Garmin) so I headed there. Apparently, I keep forgetting that I can't do simple math while on a run, so although I chose a path where it ended 2.45 miles in, I couldn't remember that I had to add .55 X 2 -- or roughly a mile -- to my run to make it an even 6 miles. I got the .55 mile part, so I added another 1/2 mile to my run, or thereabouts, but at the end, I only had 5.44 miles. I had forgotten to add *another* .55 miles to my run to make it 6. Oh well, my legs were shot anyway (see above). In fact, my quads are a bit sore from running, and of course, my right heel hurts. Some say it's plantar fasciitis, and they are probably right. All I know is that I wake up in the morning and need to hobble around for a few minutes until my heel can stand walking normally on it.
Cheers.
