AM Run With Brian King
I got up this morning and met Brian King in front of my house for his first training run with either Steve or me in weeks. Brian injured his foot a few weeks back and, after seeing a doctor (who confirmed no break), some meds and some time off, he was ready to get back out there.
We took off about 6:45 AM with great temperatures (50 or so), very little wind and a clear sky. We ran a new route that I measured yesterday to be about 4.5 miles out, then 4.5 miles back. We covered it in 1:11:03, which equates to only a 7:53 pace. It sure felt like we were going no slower than 7:30, and more like 7:15. Maybe my measurement was off. It was a good route though, one we can incorporate into our long-run rotation if we get creative and add some milage to it. There are lots of options for doing that.
I'm at 43.9 miles for the week and am meeting Scott Grischow tomorrow morning at Memorial Park for 20 miles, maybe just a bit more. Steve Schroeder is probably going to join us. And anyone else who can cover that distance at a 7:30 to 8 minute pace is welcome to tag along. Meeting at the zero mile marker in front of the tennis center at 6 AM.

I like that term...adult dehydrating beverages.
Dang things can mess up good running plans.
Reasons for a running partner
1. Someone to distract you for those long runs. $5
2. Someone else to feel pain during speed work. $10
3. Someone to run and get the car when "issues" come up. Priceless.
I have some pretty good running partners.
Brian, that "issue" is not suitable for mixed blog company!
