Greenlake!

Ran around Greenlake 3 times with CH last night. One of the reasons I prefer to run solo is because I tend to pace others, so it ends up throwing me off and I can't get into my preferred running zone. Well, turns out CH's pace was perfect. We averaged 8:25 per mile, which is a push for me when it's not a race day, but that's about where I want to be for a full marathon. The standard rule is that you end up running about 30-60 seconds faster during a race, so knowing that I can do 8:25 is pretty satisfying. He had his book on tape and I ran without any music. The weather was nice and the sun set just as we were finishing up. Couldn't have asked for a better training day.
