SRRC club run -- Sun. March 8

Nice if a bit chilly -- six of us, me, Andy, Bill, John, Nick, and Savanna for the run, and we all decide to do the 7-9 miler, Enfield-ways. Out via Howard, Jackson, and Hamilton, then up Bay. I take it gently, and Bill and Andy do the hill at a bit more of a pace, with John giving them a run for it as far as Brandywine. I push a little but don't race. Then we all join up again and take it steady on Enfield, and as we hit Jabish I decide to push a bit. Andy and Bill sit back, but John picks up the tag and pursues hard. By the top of the hill we're both going flat out, me just nicely keeping a dozen yards or so ahead. Good race though, and it won't be long before I'm chasing him. Then we all opt to do the high school finish, taking us up to almost nine miles:

Time: 1:13:55
Distance: 8.93
Pace/Speed: 8:16s/7.25 mph

Comment: a nice gentle run with some hill work-- good for a Sunday morning.
