Schuylkill Navy - 5 miles (153 total)

5.4 miles
44:33
8:14 min/mi

Chris and I had incompatible meeting schedules today, so decided to run our usual route from the office to boathouse row and back first thing this morning and return to the office by 9:30. What a great decision! The weather had cooled off last night, and was probably in the mid-60's. It was a very pleasant and beautiful run. We continue to shave more time off. This is close to a record time for me, especially considering that it was a city course and we had some stops for traffic, crossing streets and going up and down stairs.

I enjoy running with Chris. It is a stretch to keep up with him on the first half and I think I help him maintain the pace for the second half, so hopefully we both benefit.

Right knee pain was present, but did not limit my stride. Was throbbing afterwards, and I iced it.
