Saturday group run with the guys that are not running at Boston on Monday which meant the group was missing Drake, Ron, Scott and Jim. Even with those guys missing there was a good group of 9 guys starting off together and ened up dwindling down to 5 at the 8 mile point where I turned off. It was probably the hardest I have ran since my marathon averaging 7:31 for the 8.5 miles. It felt pretty good to push the speed a little faster than I have been but was still pretty tough considering a month and a half ago I was running those easily at 7 flat pace.
Got home and signed up for the Hospital Hill Half Marathon June 7th. Should be interesting is sounds like a hard course and if the weather is hot and humid I could have some difficulties but it will be fun to race again.
