SRRC run -- Sun. May 18

Slow start, but on my bike and arrived at DnD just at 10 -- Ivan called my mobile while I was biking over which nearly made for a wipeout (must practice phone/biking). Horde of bikers there, which was novel, and a couple more runners than last week. Jason, Andy, Ivan and me for the longer run, w/ Dawn and Ed G. doing a 6 miler. Tried out my new course incorporating the trail behind the Junior League field -- very pleasant, a perfect day for it (again!) and quite appreciated; the road section after was good hill training too, also appreciated (and I sure felt sore at the end!). We started gently, then pushed in the middle (sort of -- Summit Hill felt really long!) and at the end A and J took off a bit, but I was bushed. Overall a fair pace considering the hills:

Time: 1:03:48
Distance: 8 miles
Speed: 7.5 mph

Comment: I just hope that's the end of that cold; Andy was also getting over similar. Though I tapped out at the end, I'm ready again for longer distances, finally.
