"Chris" Pace

After the past couple weeks of relatively slow runs, I knew that today's run with Chris would be different. Chris and I are sometimes the hare and the tortoise. He tends to start fast, then slow down on the return, while I usually need a mile or two to establish a cruising pace.

We kept up a good pace (7:30s and 7:40s) until the fifth mile when we both were running out of gas and getting overheated (temp was about 80). This was the fastest run I've done in months, probably. Although we were both tired out at the end, it still was a pleasant run in beautiful weather, and the pace was comfortable enough to keep up a conversation the whole way.
