The fastest 9 mile average in forever. I did the first 6 with Sean before he peeled off. Still managed a respectable pace when he left. The new plan is to drop the tempo, track, and hill workouts. Run 6:30-6:45 pace on my easy days and just keep adding miles on to the long runs and throwing some 6:30-6:45 paces on the long run. Hopefully this will allow my adductor to heal properly while also gaining some strength.

I heard the HARRA cross country relay was a success with a lot of local big names showing up. I heard Cesar Figueroa won prize money with a 4:33 split on mile 1 and then cruised in for a 9:45 2 mile time. I'm not sure which team won overall as that would be interesting to know. It would also be interesting to know who were on the teams. Oh well...that's all I know.
