Met the large group at JulieC's house in PG this morning.  Was a bit more nippy than most of us thought it was going to be.  We started out slow and did a nice progression run for many miles.  At around 11, my right hamstring and quad started tightening up, again, this is getting very old.  Keeps slowing me down and have to back off for awhile.  It eventually loosened up a bit and I was able to pull out a 5:56 mile at mile 19.  Had five miles around a 6:30 pace, would have been nice to keep the faster pace with the speedsters longer, but the legs won't have any part of it, for now.  Good times with good people.  Thanks JulieC for the course, organization and food.  

I averaged a 145 heart rate for 20, the 5:56 mile, the heart rate was approaching 170 by the end of it, so probably could not maintain that for much longer than I did, but had plenty of cardio left in the tank for most of the run.

Well I am embarrassed to admit that I had no idea who you were today...but in my defense I've only met you once before and it's hard to really see someone when covered in lots of clothes and gear!! Next time I'll make sure to say hi :o) Nice run today!
