MDay -7 -- Sat. Sept. 13

Off sleepy after an early start to the team at 10. Bill, Andy and Amy at the triathlon, so Jay, plus two new guys (Tim and Steve -- henceforth Doc Steve? -- both from Amy's workplace). Then Ken also appeared, so we were five. Chat a while, then head out for a railtrail/Jabish Canal/21/OldSpfld/HighSchool route. Thought it was 8, but apparently not (though digivice lost signal a few times). Ken tugging pace after a very slow first mile, and by 21 he started to head off solo; from OldSpfld Jay went after him, and I ran with Steve (from Alaska, late 30s, and done lots of marathons) with Tim bringing up rear. Kept pace at 7:45ish, good comfortable chatting pace, after a quicker mile or two in the middle. Here's the data:

Time: 59:33
Distance: 7.54 miles
Pace: 7:54s

Comments: another one of those perfect days, a tad muggy but otherwise summer-autumnal. Felt fine, though right achilles is a bit sore (and was so last night too). Must stretch a bit tomorrow, but no running. Only days to go now!!
