9.02 miles (Garmin Link)
1:12:01
7:59 pace
Got Chris out for a run for the first time since December. He has been concentrating on some pretty challenging biking on the weekends. Chris kept a little faster pace than I've been running, and after we parted ways at the 3 mile point, I tried to keep it up. I think this is my first long run so far in 2009 under an 8:00 pace.
It was beautiful down on the river after two solid days of rain - temp closing in on 60. Lots of people on the path, even on a weekday.
The run felt good, but it is sobering to think that my goal is to be able to run this pace for three times the distance by November. Hmmmm....

November is plenty far off...I think it's a realistic goal. I found myself on a plateau at the gym with my weight training. I switched it up and did a couple high weight-low reps workouts that seemed to get me past my plateau. Maybe some fartlek/interval training will help you with your pace goal.
Thanks, Hallie - that's exactly what I have planned. Didn't know that you were weight training regularly. I'm thinking of doing some of that over the summer for some cross-training.
What? You couldn't tell from my huge pythons? ;P The weight training gives some nice variety to my routine.
