Day 39: Reuniting with Old Friend
7 miles, 1 mile warm up (7:35), 6 mile run (41:36) - 6:56 pace (7;12, 6:48, 6:48, 6:57, 6:55, 6:57)
It was great to run again with Candela and Dion after a 7 month layoff. Candela seem to have not missed a beat after her unfortunate elbow injury that crippled her track season. She seems in mid season shape already, as I had to hold her back from running 6:30 pace on today's run. Our pace was a bit more erratic than usual, but parts of the course just made 6:30 feel like a casual jog. We all need to exercise patience because you don't run fast in the fall by overdoing it in June.
It was a good thing we got this run out of the way early in the morning because it's going to be a hot one today. I'll have to follow up with some hydration tips in a post in the near future. Though summer may not start until June 21, the heat is already here.
