Twilight Jog with Doug and Barb - 4 miles (942 total)

4.02 miles (Garmin link)
37.01
9:12 pace

All three of us went out to the park as the sun was going down and the air was starting to cool. Doug and I went one direction and Barbara took off in the other so she could run at her own pace. This way we also got to exchange high fives as we passed each other every half mile or so. Doug peeled off at 3.1, and I increased the pace for the last mile.

This slower run was another chance to concentrate on form. I remembered one more piece of advice - pivot hips slightly around the axis of the spine - and that made it that much easier to relax the legs and arms and let them follow me leaning forward. By the end of the run I felt I was just starting to pull the pieces together. However, I was starting to feel a little of the shin splints coming back by the end. Hopefully a rest day tomorrow will take care of that.
