Nice run. about 70 degrees at the start. Started out with a nice easy pace, chatting it up with M and RC...we were doing about 10:50 pace or so (not bod considering we stopped twice for water breaks on the way out. Got to the turnaround point at 1:10. We gel'd and then started back. RC and I felt really good so we started to push the pace a little. M was doing okay but she couldn't keep the pace RC was hammering out on the way back (after a while he was ahead of me too)...to her credit she kept going though (M is always persistent). RC and I doubled back a couple times to get her. After a while, RC just kept on. M and I did the last mile under 10:00 which was great for us considering it was the end of nice long run.
I am most happy that I did not bonk this time....cooler temperature, decent breakfast, better hydration strategy. A little sore but that's okay...feeling good overall.
