Ran 7 miles this morning from downtown and part of LadyBird Lake in 1:08 with Shan and Steve.

Thankfully, it was just cold and NOT RAINY. The time is a bit slow because we had fairly lengthy stops at 1st and 15th streets for red lights and.....Shan's shoe came untied twice. I love it when that happens!!!

I asked Steve to pace me the 4th loop at Cactus Rose. He said he'd give it some thought. I also emailed Doug, Shan's main squeeze, to see if he would pace me the 3rd loop.

On our run this morning we talked about easing into some Jester repeats to get my body ready for the hills at Bandera.

The mental prep begins NOW!!

Plans are to run 10-12 miles with Sam tomorrow morning!!
