I planned today to run with my the running club I just joined, and nearly chickened out. They run in the evenings, and I usually like to run in the mornings, but as I need to log a bit of road time and get off the treadmill, as well as get out and meet a few new people, I went ahead and joined them. There were 5 of us in all, and they all ran at about a 10 minute pace, which for me is a bit fast, but for some reason, I was able to keep up ok. My heart rate was a lot higher during the run than it usually is, but as I was running 2 minutes per mile faster pace than I usually do, that is understandable. I ran a total of 4.2 miles and walked about .4 miles. I did the 4.2 in 40:41, definitely setting a personal record for extended distance speed for me. I never expected to break a 10 minute mile this year. I am sure, however, that I will pay for this a bit tomorrow. I am jazzed anyway.
