AM   Meet up with the group at the bank this morning, Had a great time running with my friends Curt, Lynette, Jeff, Gray, David, and Craig.  Ran down to SRL and the Greenbelt and Freeman Park, on the way back we ran into my wife and I decided to run with her as she had just over 3 miles left on her run, got her back to her car and headed back to the truck by way of SRL. Got back to the truck and my milage was at 13.20 miles and felt good so I kept going up Sunnyside. I wanted to push the pace for the last 4 miles just above MP to check HR after 13 miles and was still in upper Z2,( happy with that) also stopped and talked to Alana for a short time, nice to talk to her this morning also.

AM   Well this is not what I expected this morning,   ran beside Jeff this morning and had an awesome time talking and running.  I had forgot my glasses this morning and called my wife to bring them with her when she comes into the gym, and only planned on running 8 miles this morning but when she still wasn't at the gym yet I decided to run two more miles with Jeff, of course he finished before me! :-) (he is an awesome person and runner)  My wife got there just before I got to the 10 miles .  Decided to run the 6 miles with her as we had a great time also talking about our day and the weekend. ( Love that woman)  Ran the last 6 miles at a progressive MP ending at HMP.  Makes me feel good that I am strong enough to run long anytime and feel good.  Ran with Jeff, Carol, Rex, Tracy,and talked with Kevin and Mike.  Fun morning.
