So, due to all the recent single women runner attacks lately Britt wanted me to run on her long run with her, so I told my boss I'd be in to work late today stayed home and helped get the kids ready for school. (I've never done that) After we got all the kids to school I took Britt out on my 10 mile trail run, except we started at the bottom of the hill cause she was afraid she wouldn't make it home. Went out on the Bull River Trail around Smiths and back, It was only 7 miles when we got back to the car and she really wanted to get 8 in so I drove the car home and she ran up the hill through our neighborhood home. This is the furthest she has ever ran, and because of me pacing, the fastest she had ever averaged for any distance. She did 8.05 miles in 1:14:00. This is good for me to help her get ready for a race for a couple of reasons, 1 it's probably good for me to run slower and get recovered, and 2 she feels like running isn't all about me for once. I think she can totally do a 1/2 in under 2 hours, she just needs a 9:09 avg pace.
