SRRC group run -- Sun. March 22

One more lovely day, and a nice if somewhat reduced group at Dunkins. Bill away, Jay at the Nationals, and the high schoolers all recovering from yesterday (all four, two boys two girls, did good runs), so it was Andy, Amy, Dawn, Ken and me. Decided on a 10 miler, with Dawn opting for a shorter run as her injury is still not recovering. Windy, chill, but sunny--head out along geoHannum and then Hamilton: Dawn goes up Bay to 9 and we others do Allen. No racing up the hills, but just before Brandywine Amy and Andy take off so I give chase and *sprint* but can't catch Andy, who's got speed to spare. Still, a fun stretch over a hundred yards or so. Then we jog on and to add distance take a left at Enfield and go down to the water, then loop around (Amy rolls an ankle, alas; suggest packing with snow, which she does) and back up then down to Jabish and take that very slowly and steadily, then Amy goes straight back while we other three do the high school extension. Andy and I stretch out one more time at the end. Here's the record:

Time: 1:32:15
Distance: 10.63 miles
Pace/Speed: 8:41s/6.99 mph

Comment: Good post-race stretch out, I think. Still sleepy afterwards...
n.b. Amy recommended vascular check for the numbleg, if it's not disk related. I think that makes sense. Hmm.
