Happy easter!!!!
Ran with my old Sunday running group this morning. I haven't ran with them in over a year. It was good to see them after all this time. The routes they run haven't changed. Legs were tight this morning but warmed up after a couple miles.

Ran with the Saturday crew today. Lane, Peter, Lance, and Saad. Lance took off and ran sub 7's right away. Saad, lane, and I were hitting around a 7:10 pace for the first 5. At the turnaround point, we caught Lance but Saad and Lane decided to run sub 7's. I was fine with my current 7:10 pace so I finished up with Lance. The first 5 miles out I ran at 35:44 (about 2 mins faster than last week) and the 5 miles back at 35:52 which was about 8 seconds slower than last week. We finished on the track for our timed 2 miles. I ran about 10 seconds per mile faster per mile this week vs last week. Mile 11 was a 6:55 and mile 12 was a 6:46. Better effort than last week.
After my 12 mile run, I went and got my Starbucks and went to volunteer at the Purdue Boilermaker spring triathlon. The Tri-N-Run team was manning the water station on the run. It was a lot of fun cheering on all the runners. It made me want to be out there with them but I had to volunteer for at least one race. Got it over with early. Travis took 3rd overall and had a really good race. Many members of the team did really well. We had a strong showing in the race and volunteering.
After the race, I went home to pick up my 10 year old for her soccer game. They won 2-0. Its crazy being her coach but still fun. She doesn't like when I yell at her. She had a really nice assist in the game. A perfect pass that set up our main scorer.

My watch flaked out on me again this morning so the running time is a guess. I just wanted to get a few warm up miles on these old legs before hitting the hills. I thought about a tempo run but the quad thought otherwise.

I was just getting back from my 4 mile run when I saw the Tri-N-Run group starting their first hill repeat. I jumped in after I got my spare watch out of my truck. I got in 6 hill repeats today. I average between a 2:07 and a 2:11 per 1/4 mile hill repeat. I took about the same amount of rest (jogging downhill) before each repeat.
I was happy with my effort but unhappy with my times. I need to really get these under 2 mins. I just have to learn patience.
