Goal: 7
Actual: 7.5
Week: 11.5
Notes: Got up early today to run the Firecracker at 6am. It was great to be out there again with some old school firecracker veterans. I appreciate Austin because it seems to foster such a great mix of people from all walks of life, coming together to run. I am also so happy that we have enough folks to do two different start times for this early AM run. Some need to get to work, take care of kids, etc and start at 5:30 while others have a little more flexibility to start at 6. There has been a group meeting at 530 consistently for the last 2-3 years. What a cool thing. You guys are the real deal.
Regardless of the time started, It rocks to have a 7 miler out of the way early and a good group of friends to run with. Scott Mc. ran a great IBM yesterday and was still out this morning, Liliana made an impressive appearance, and my good pacing buds Russ and Dan Hannon were there to round out the 6am edition of the run. Scott, Liliana and I dawdled in the back while Russ and Dan turned up the volume to 11 after about 5 miles. We saw a brief spurt of dust, and they were gone. Good times jumping into the springs afterwards as well. My body felt good this morning despite some soreness and creaky joints after the first weeks mileage. I am really interested to see how I manage this week and next.
Here are Russ and Dan, two guys you want to have running beside you in a marathon, especially when someone in front poops their pants at mile 16 of the marathon, and then runs in front of you for the duration. Ahh the memories. Yechhhhh.
