Down by the River

Another week, another great run. This week we were down in Georgetown at the start of the Capital Crescent trail. After a few logistical problems (Kjersten had put on her cloak of invisibility while feeding the parking meter), we got started. Even though Sara couldn't make it, she ensured once again that we had beautiful weather. And this week we welcomed Fran to her first official run. With Pastor Wendy & Sara missing this week, and Fran a new addition, a debate has ensued over the pace of our training runs. Rather than get in the middle of this discussion, I'll just let the numbers speak for themselves. (Just keep in mind we were running on a different course) The pace for last week (July 21) is listed first, followed by yesterday's pace (July 28)

• Mile 1 9:16 10:24 min/mile
• Mile 2 9:27 9:58 min/mile
• Mile 3 9:33 9:50 min/mile
• Mile 4 9:20 9:53 min/mile

This coming week we'll have yet a different mix of runners, so we'll see how things turn out.
