Ran 10 miles this morning with Drake on the trail system here in the KC metro area. We set off at an easy pace since we both have been putting in some good hard miles. We hadn't ran together for a few months so it was good to catch up and after my last 10 mile attempt that failed miserably this run went on without a hitch. On the run we ran into 5 deer that we spoked and they dropped down to the stream and ran down it for about 200 yards. It was an awesome sight seeing thes deer run through the stream splashing all the way. We finished up the run with a couple miles at low 7 min mile pace as we talked. It was a great run and it made me feel good that I could run 10 easily and still have some gas in the tank to run a couple pretty fast miles at the end. I'm ready to start training for Boston which Monday will be 18 weeks away!
