pep in the step

Miles: 12
Time: 1.28.13
Pace: 7.21

This was a great long run. A relativly shorter long run for me as I am on the taper phase of training, this one had a nice pace. We started off on 7:30-35 pace for the first 6 miles, and the comfort level there was pretty easy. I could feel myself holding back some, waiting for the second half of the run. After 6 miles we started clipping down to 7:15 pace for the next 2 miles, and then we crept up to 7:10 pace for the last 3 or so. The pace all the while was still "conversational", which shows improvement over. 2 weeks ago where we ran a slower pace at a harder effort, for relativly the same distance

slow run with the old timers

Nice slow pace for a community run featuring Mike Oelz and Alan Gibson from former ASU Cross Country fame. We started at Freedom park, and talked and ran around Myers Park. Fun easy run with the guys.
