After Will and I said good-bye to Jade, I was feeling good and decided to add two more miles, instead of one.  Will didn't complain too much.

I did my fast miles with Will again.  I tried to run the half mile before my fast miles more quickly.  I was hoping that by picking up the pace my first couple quarters wouldn't be so slow.  It worked maybe a little too well.  Here are my quarters.

2:01--I was going for 2:15 or 2:10.  The better warm-up and the downhill helped.

2:14--Wow!  I ran hard up the hill.  Will was shouting encouragement.  Well, anything he babbled, I took as encouragement.

 

So 17:12 minutes (8:35 and 8:37)!

Jade said that we actually ran 3.6 together on Monday.  She said it felt easy, so today we ran four together.  I enjoyed our run.

Will and I went to the track to run our fast miles today.  Halfway through, I turned around and ran the opposite direction.  Around this time, I noticed Will wasn't talking any more.  He wasn't moving very much either.  Will had fallen asleep!  When I started to wonder if Will would stay asleep once we got home, I lost track of my quarter times.  Luckily, Will slept some more.  I was able to shower and have some time to read and eat breakfast.  I am grateful for naps.

My mile times were 8:58 and 8:51. 2 miles--17:47

Jade, Will, and I were going to run three miles today on a hilly course.  On the way home, I asked Jade if she was up to running one more mile.  She agreed!  Jade said she felt good, but her legs did feel a bit tired.  We did a hilly four.  Halfway through, Will fell asleep again.  He is the cutest kid.

Will and I went for an evening run.  It was 65 degrees and beautiful.  The run felt nice and easy.
