Group Run, April 11, 2009


We planned a group run starting at our house and doing the Chippewa route. Dan was doing a 20 miler today so he ran 4.5 miles to our house before the run so he could get his 20 in when he got home. We had a total of 9 runners, 6 guys and 3 gals. Ladd, Dan, Pete, Chris, Randy and his friend Tim, Marsha, Kim and Lisa. It was about 35 degrees and windy but a pretty nice run. We ended up doing almost 12 miles and while we were down in Chippewa we ran down to the old park entrance to catch a glimpse of the roller coaster and the ferris wheel. We averaged 8:09 per mile, a little fast for a long run and now for a couple days off, ok maybe 1 then an easy speedwork session on Wednesday to get ready for the 1st anniversary of my 1st half marathon next weekend, Union Hospital. I can't run this one to hard so my plan is to pace Bill H. for the 1st couple miles then ease into a comfortable pace and maybe just break 1:40 so I will be ready for Nashville 6 days later.
