Monday Running Group

Tonight was the third meeting of the Y Monday night running group. Every time I show up for one of these I meet new people. There are around 30 people signed up for the group, but we have yet to see them all. It is getting kind of hard to keep everyone straight, but I am sure it will come with time and warmer temps.

Tonight everyone agreed to an initial 4 mile route. So off we went. We seemed to have about every pace imaginable. Everywhere from 7:30 - 12:30 per mile. I found myself running with Jen and her husband Jeff, who was with us last Monday. Unfortunately my favorite running partner has to sit out Mondays due to family obligations. I totally understand, family is always first!

After about the first couple of miles I found myself running with a newcomer named Robin. She seemed to be running at an acceptable pace so we ran and chit chatted for the last couple of miles. Soon enough we were back at the Y and waiting for everyone else to come in.

It didn't take too long. Once everyone was in, Shawna, Jen, Gary, and myself headed out for another 3.75 miles. The pace was quicker. I was pleasantly surprised when Jen said that the Garmin said we were traveling at a 7:50 -8:10 pace. Wow! At that pace we were back at the Y before I knew it. After standing around for a few seconds, I was bidding everyone a good evening and heading for the house.

Next up will be some running through the week with Chris.

That's all for now.
