5:30 am. Ran with Riverton Paul for about 1 mile but he was running to fast and blew out the circuit on all the treadmills and had to leave so I ran my last 6 alone. Didn't get the exact time of my first mile I'll just say 7:00 then I ran the 38:50 for a total time of 45:50 for 7 miles. Last mile at 6:10 pace. Waiting for my wife to get home from volunteering at the school so we can go run 8 on the river trail from Willow Park. I have preemptively added the miles assuming we will actually go do it. I'll remove it later if we don't :) Well, the trail ended up only being 3.5 miles to the end, and the Garmin battery died. Britt was mad about the Garmin before we started and I asked her how fast she wanted to go, she told me 8:00/mile pace so I told her I would pace her right at 8:00 and see how long she could hold it. Using the mile markers I found the 8:00 pace exactly and stayed right there, she would surge ahead sometimes and then fall back. Did the first 3.5 in 27 minutes, the drinking fountain was turned off which made her angry so she started hauling back, then died a bit towards the end. 28:30 for the return trip Ended up averaging 7:55 pace. Pretty awesome, she is going to rock the Halloween 1/2, she has never ran anything more than a 5 K. I think 1:45 is totally possible, she is a very competitive person and may even do it faster if the hill doesn't kill her.
