Got in nearly 10 miles to bring my weekly total to 53.3. I started today's run a little gingerly with tight quads from yesterday's hills. Ryan ran the first couple miles with me. Shortly after he turned back, I came across Linda in the early miles of her 10 mile run. I ran a short stretch with her. She was struggling with things and the run. When I hit my turn around, I was surprised by how close behind she was. She'd found her pace and toughness out there and was doing a lot better. I ran a little bit with her before striking out on my own.
I called home to find out the Red Sox score (ugh!). I told Rick I'd be home in about 25 minutes. He said, "then I guess I'm bringing Ryan to the bus." I'd have to pick up the pace if I wanted to get my good bye hug. I was happy to find that 8 miles into my run (on top of yesterday's 22 miles), I still could make myself run fast (relatively). I was sub-8min/mile for maybe 1/2 mile and kept it under 9min/mile. My quads are still sore, but I got my hug!!!
