Joined the Runners Edge of the Rockies group run since they were meeting just 5 minutes from my house. Seems like a pretty cool group. They have about 250 people in the group and about 80 of them were there for the group run. It was nice to have water and gatorade every few miles so I didn't have to wear a water belt. I ran with the 3:15 marathon group for the first part(the sub 3:00 hour marathon pacer was not there today). After a few miles a guy named Jason came up from behind and ran with us too. He is shooting for a 2:40 marathon in October, and we pushed the pace for 5 miles around between miles 7-12, running 6:30-6:40 pace. Average for the whole 14 miles was 7:17 min/mile. I think I'll join them for next week's run in Golden. They are doing a max of 18 miles but I'm not sure I'm ready for that since today is the longest I've done thus far. Maybe I'll do 16 or 17 next weekend. |
