SRRC club run -- Sun. March 15

Nice run with the regular crowd: Ken, Andy, Amy, Savanna, Nick and John. The highschoolers have trials on Monday, so only do an easy 5-6, but we other four head off for a full Enfield (at a pretty gentle pace). Amy pulled ahead as we went over the first bit of Allen, and once we crossed 202 I pushed to pursue (Andy and Ken taking it steady). Almost caught her up by the top of the hill, then she doubled back (thinking that was the end), and then we pushed on again as far as Brandywine. The hill had really pushed me breathing wise -- probably because of the 18 miler day before. So I was happy to take it steady again, all four of us, as far as Jabish hill, to make another push just the two of us. Legs felt like lead at that point, once I pushed, so Amy got that one. We finished going via the high school, thus:

Time: 1:12:24
Distance: 8.86 miles
Pace/Speed: 8:10s/7.34 mph

Comment: this felt remarkably good considering the 18 miler, and I wanted to avoid getting seized up. But a rest day tomorrow, for sure.
