I ran this morning with Meagan for the first 5 miles of the run. We warmed up 2 miles and then picked up the pace for 3. She was doing one of her "workouts" for the week which involved 3 miles of uptempo pace work. We started running harder at the intersection of Lindsey and Pickard heading north. The splits were: 6:26, 6:23, 5:58 and then I rattled off 5:48, 5:36, 5:54, 5:42, 5:43, 5:34. I backed off the pace the final quarter mile to finish up with just over 11 miles.

After the run Meagan and I took a brief shower/rinse in the fire hydrant just off Main St. It was a glorious way to start the day.
