Club run! -- Sun. May 9

Surprisingly cold day with a stiff wind, *such* a contrast w/ last week! Feeling pretty tired, but out to DnD (w/ woolly hat) in time for the meet. Nick D there, not running as there's a HS meet tomorrow; he did the BFC 5K yesterday, but was the only Swiftie there, evidently. Bill also there, and next comes Ken -- so three of us to run, and we go with Bill's suggestion of a 10 miler reverse Enfield. Out and off through CHCS and BHS, nice easy pace and chatting (but cold!). Wearing the new road shoes, comfortable as ever, but right calf still very tight. Keep pace easy to Enfield, feeling okay going down Jabish (quads more or less recovered now), then step up a bit, all the way to Brandywine, then we turn in for the added Sheffield loop. Good pull up the final hill there, feeling great, then back to Allen and on as usual. Crossing 9 we're all together, and from Hamilton pick up to 7:35 ish pace, then as we come to GeoHannum Bill and I go to 7:20 or so, and keep it to the end-- adding a tiny bit on to make our planned distance, thus:

Time: 1:18:35
Distance: 10.01 miles
Pace: 7:51s

Comment: good to be running in a group again. Last week I hit my 35 mile target; this week, maybe up to 40, but whichever, this was a good start.
