There isn't much to say about this run, it was simple, easy, and awesome.
We met at Lake Needwood this time, a relatively small group of runners since many in our program had chosen to run the Annapolis 10 mile race this morning. I had little desire to get up early to run a race on a hot August morning so Lake Needwood it was. The route was one I knew well, down to Ken-Gar and back, so even if no one else from my group made it I knew where I was going and had no worries about making the trip.
Turned out there were four of us that stuck together the entire run, the biggest 12:30 pace group we've had since... June? It was definitely the best group run I've had in months, pretty sure I can say the same for the rest of the group too. It was uneventful, we just hit the road together and ran. We stopped for walking drink breaks every 2 miles, at a water fountain or two to fill up and at the bathroom at the mile 7 turn around.
I knew the route and it's not a particularly easy one, it's a little hilly with two real monsters. I decided on the way out that I was going to run those two hills if they killed me. I did, and they didn't. I charged up The Silencer and the hill back into Lake Needwood with no problems. I guess they get easier each time you do them so I should probably subject myself to them more often.
So that's it, I guess there's not much to say about a good run! I finished with Eugene right by my side, Ameenah right behind us and Hengameh not far behind her. We cheered each other on, we high-fived, and we went home.
