Run #2

Kate and I drove over to Portland to meet up with Val and Mindy to run the Back Cove. Kate wanted to do her own pace Mindy, Val and I ran on ahead. It was awesome to be able to run with Mindy and Val as I haven't done so in a while. Two very intelligent women who are a lot of fun to be around. 

We finished up and Mindy headed home (she did a lap before we got there) but Val and I then ran the loop counterclockwise with the plan of meeting up with Kate and then running in with her. We didn't have to go too far, as Kate was only a few tenths of a mile away. Very good pace for her and it was nice to see her happy with how she did. 

Nice second run of the day for me. Thinking of doing downhill repeats tomorrow to help condition the quads for Boston. 

Ran 4.4 miles @ 8:59/mile pace. 

Trails, packed and slightly muddy. 

Slightly hilly. 

Mid 30s, partly cloudy. 

Brooks Mach 13, long tights, windbreaker, long sleeved shirt, beanie, gloves.
