Woke up several times last night to strong winds. Was not happy to hear that with a long run scheduled. Got out @ 6:45ish and ran ridge to fairway and then down the parkway and thru town to C park. Met Larry and for Group run only 4 of us today...found out Sean has some leg issues and won't be running Boston...Dang! Plan said 8:45 pace but I did not even care what my pace ended up being with my first long mileage run over 14. Ended up getting 8:54. Larry and I ran to the Golf Course and then mill pond and then thru town...and Larry stopped with a hammy prob. I continued on and he started walking back to the park...I saw him after a bit and he was running slowly....met back at the park. Then off to the parkway and back home. Ran the Hilldebeast and did pretty well. I stopped to get a drink at the park halfway up and a lady came from the bottom and just kept powering up it. I followed her and finally caught her at the top. Looped the industrial park to get my miles and then ended up walking about half a mile back home which I think helped a lot. My legs do not feel bad at all! Got some ribs on the smoker for some friends that coming over later. Gonna enjoy those as the first of the season. Splits: 8:40, 7:59, 8:22, 8:57, 9:00, 9:28, 9:18, 9:08, 9:27, 8:57, 9:04, 8:39, 8:27, 9:15, 9:39, 8:18
