Easy Thursday, until Todd shows up

RUN 6.7 miles in 58 mins, about 8:40
BIKE COMMUTE 9.5 miles

Wow this weather is really a surprise! Low 70's almost in the 60's when I got up this morning! Cool enough to take Shoogie with me for a Fo Pa walk after the run.

Good group showed up today. I ran with LC and IT, both running longer so they wanted an easier pace. Did I mention that last Thursday I saw TG after our run? Saw him again today, first heading down Skinker hill while we went up, quick wave then recalling how he always encouraged me to come back for more waaaaay back in 2006 when I first started joining group runs. Back in the day when 10m/m was considered a good pace for me when I was 'going fast'.

LC talked gymnastics competition, all talked upcoming races, and talked about the upcoming Triple Bypass ride LC is doing. So glad I didn't sign up for that...woefully unprepared with shoulder injury!

Met up again with TG around the ice rink, he turned around to join us. He slowed to run with us, but it still picked up my pace just a bit. Fun to catch up with him! Then he was off to finish his 14 miles in 100 mins, think he said a 7:05 pace! YIKES! Still  can't run with TG, LOL!! But as before he's willing to slow for some conversation. I give him credit for teaching me to do that for others.

Run felt great :)   Hip is OK, I'm working stretches and flexy exercises for it.
