Ran 7 miles at Barton Creek in 1:30 yesterday after work. I did the 5 mile Rudy's loop and then the 1 mile out and back on the HOL for a total of 7. It was good. The achy knee has sort of returned. Not sure about that. I feel like more running might help it.
I saw Shan's friend Tom twice. We met the first time on the flat as I was coming off the HOL and then again in the same place after I had turned around. We stopped and chatted briefly the first time we saw each other. I think he had forgotten my name but he said he's going to join us on our Thursday morning run next week.
I sent Chuck Dakin, Mark Barr and John Pittman messages this morning about them taking turns pacing me during the 2nd half of the Bandera 100k. I think it would be a hoot to have some old homies get a small taste of what I do for recreation. Chuck seems to have gotten himself into pretty good shape. He's posted on FB several times about running 5 miles. He shouldnt have any problem doing 10 during the night with me. I'm sure John would be cool with it. Even though he's in unbelievable shape he complains about his knees when he runs. The little amount of slow running we'll be doing mixed in with the walking should be cake for him.
And......here's the bonus. It'll be an opportunity for Mark to get back in shape. Thankfully he's not overweight. He said he weighs about what I do. With him being just a shade shorter that really doesn't put him overweight. All he needs to do is start a running/ walking program now and he should be good to go for an easy 5 in Jan. Anyway......I hope it all works out.
