Finished CHICAGO 2007! by ewin

Today, my normal run partner, Eiton, was absent. As it turns out, I ran with two of the girls on our team. The trek out started out at a brisk (for me) clip. On the trek back, Viviana, the fastest runner in our group joined us.

These girls can run... and I thank them for running with me today.

If you've read some of my recent blogs, you know I've had some ankle trouble lately. The ankle felt great today, thankfully. I had a look at my watch and realized that I stood a good chance of hitting my target sprint pace time, and went for it.

I'm not sure how, but as we hit the last hill on our route, I broke away from the girls. I gave it almost everything I had and almost hit my target time of 48:00 for the 6 mile run. In the end, I came away with 50:47. Still it's a new PR and I'll take what I can get with an injury.

This Saturday, we'll be doing 20 miles. I'll definitely be running with girls on Saturday.
