SRRC run -- Sun. January 27

With Ivan this time, and Mark there already. Good turnout, with Andy's bro-in-law and one other marathoner, so there were six, count 'em, six of us going on the nine miler. I requested doing a reverse this time, so we started back towards Howard, then Jackson, GeoHan and Hamilton before we started up the Allen hills. Very pleasant pace, but at 202 Andy and the other 26.2er decided to go with a faster pace and they were off. Ivan and I ran with Mark and the coach following. Light snow throughout, but not too cold--mid 20s. Deviated at the very end to take the rail trail instead of the High School. Ended up with just over nine:

Time: 1:16:14
Distance: 9.16 miles
Speed: 7.2 mph

Comments: a very gentle pace, some good stretchy miles -- I pushed just a bit harder up the Allen hills and more again up Jabish. Pleasant chats both during and after the run, and Ivan and Mark came back to Clark for cocoa. Yay for running clubs!
