Well that was the furthest I've ran since before Christmas. Met the whole FRB group at Julie C's house this morning, and boy did she have it organized. Maps, painted arrows along the route and pancake breakfast at the finish. I invited Ryan Jonson to come with me this morning and I'm glad I did, we ran the first 6 miles with the fast guys, Jake, Fritz, Scott, Walter and company but then they started going sub 7:00 pace, I looked at Ryan and said I didn't think I could go 20 at that pace, he agreed to slow down with me and we pretty much ended up running the rest of the way alone. We did catch up with the group at the "eternal fountain" in Alpine but they were rested and ready to go by the time we got there so it was pretty much a hello, goodbye. I had to stop into McDonalds for a quick stop at mile 17, but overall I felt pretty good, my injured led never did act up, I'm sore just from running that far but overall it went well. Pretty good way to end my first official training week. Thanks so much to Julie for putting this together, it was a lot of fun. 20.61 miles in 2:28:07 7:11 avg pace.
