Met Ty and John in Weatherford. John is 1 week out from running his first (and he says "only") Ironman Triathlon in Cancun. I haven't run w/ these guys since El Scorcho in July. They said I was welcome to join them but they might be too slow for me. We ended up running 12 miles in the fog through the neighborhoods. Lots of rolling hills. The miles just fly by when you have someone to talk to.

We ended up running an average pace of 8:46. (A little faster than we had planned. I starting to realize it is good to put in some slower runs. )

I hope to run with these guys again soon.

Sounds awesome! Glad you had great company. :)

I have become a big fan of slow miles as long as I have really fast miles in the week as well.

Kathie, sounds like you are doing it right.

Marc, amazing that your friend can run that far 1 week out from a full IronMan. Looks like you are getting the milage base back up there. Nicely done. I'm looking forward to a nice long, slow run, on Friday after Thanksgiving.

NICE run with great company. I look forward to running (er jogging) with my grandson in a stroller after Thanksgiving in Houston!

GOOD LUCK on your Turkey Trot!
