I love the level of fitness that I am at right now. When someone says, "I'm doing 13 tomorrow, wanna come?" I love being able to say, "no problem."
Clay told me yesterday that he was planning on doing 13-14 on the aqueduct Saturday morning so I said, "I'll be there." We left at about 5:45am, he actually left a little early for a slower warm up and Dale and I caught him at about mile 2. We cruised at a very even pace 8:00-8:12 for the first 10 miles and then Clay and I pushed it in with a 7:35, 7:25, 7:21. He stopped to cool down and I pushed it in because I had to get home with the last half mile at 6:30 pace. I ended up running 13.6 miles total. It was a great run and felt good to push the pace a little at the end. Our last 10 miles was right around 79 minutes.
Wildlife included a mother coyote and her cub!
I told Dale we were going to run at 8:20 pace before the run. Oops, sorry Dale, I hope we didn't push it too fast.
Andi has her first 10 miler tomorrow early with her friend Dawn. Time to start building up the mileage.
I will have 4 days off next weekend as we have a family trip planned to Mammoth. There will be little to no running going on which will be a good break for me. Hopefully, it will include some short hikes with the boys.
Next week I plan on running Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday night cross country!

Flights to Sacramento for CIM weekend(from Burbank at least) are pretty cheap right now, starting at $59. I thought you might like to know, even though it is way off down the road.
Nope, it was not too fast. My portion of the run stayed within the 8:00- 8:15 range and that was fine. The way you guys took off at the end was impressive. You made me think I was slowing down, but my splits stayed consistent....
