2nd TNR

It seems, from my big two night sample, that TNR gets a good turn out.  I know for certain that Ian, Jeff, Nate A, Four's cousin (George?), Erik, Christine, Erin, and Blaine ran.  There may have been more.  Again, I started out with the front runners.  I was happy to stick with them for 3.5 miles, almost a mile more than last week.  Ian was going to drop with me, but I saw headlights not far behind and assured him I'd be okay.  I didn't run very long by myself before Erik and Blaine picked me up at an intersection where I stood pondering left or right (it was right and I would have been, too).  Blaine was just off his stellar performance at MDI, but you'd never know it.  So we ran together the rest of the way.


Though I stuck with the first group longer than last week, turns out I didn't run any faster overall.  The pace had been slightly slower than last week.  In fact, the average pace was 8 sec/mile slower.  Oh well. 

Karen and Allen were with the finishers when we got in.  Karen was trying out teen little Inov8s from the back of Ian's Honda.  This time people seemed to have hung around a little longer.  I would have too, but I needed to get back to drive with Sam, who has a driving test Thursday.  We never did get out; I fell asleep after dinner.  Mmmmm...sleep.  I haven't been able to do that in a while.  Felt very good.
