I was looking forward to tonight. A nice easy 5/6 mile run with the club. My recovery week had been going great so far and I looked forward to the short run. What a pity that none of the other guys in my pack felt the same and there was near enough a full turn out. It was good to see Alex was back again after being off for what felt like months with the cold. I think that he was probably verging on manflu and so I fully support his decision in taking the extended time off. I hope that he had all the care and attention from a good woman to help nurse him back from deaths door.
The first mile of the run started nice and easy at 7:19/mi by which time Ali was warmed up and starting to push the pace. I elected to stay with him tonight and it quickly ended up just the two of us. I was struggling a bit on the uphills but luckily for me Ali was slowing down for them and letting me catch up. Damn. Although I know it is good for me to push there is sometimes you just want to take it easy.
Sprinting at 5:47/mi pace towards the end where Alex was already. His manflu had reered it's ugly head again and he had cut the run short. He really is a trooper. I just hope that he isn't off again. It's his turn to stay with Ali next week.
5.74mi in 36:03min @ 6:17 /mi
7:17, 6:31, 6:03, 5:47, 6:08, 4:14 (only 0.74mi)

Did you just run a 1:17 HM? One week after that 31miler. You are on fire man! But make sure you don't push too hard. You know you have to make the starting line.
I don't know what else to say... I am speechless
