Well MJ came down for a visit at the end of her holidays so figured we’d head out for a run. Pretty cool to have managed to have stayed friends. Well i was only supposed to run 3 miles today as I’m in my recovery week but after my failed long run I figured I’d just tack on a few extra mile and MJ needs to run 55 min for her Montreal Marathon Training so what the hell. I led her up the Chedoke Trail. Was supposed to be a relaxing easy pace (for me anyhow) so up we went. We kept a great pace and I think I put her through the ringer, did just over 7 miles (7.1 to be exact) in 55 minutes for an average pace of 7:45 minute miles. I was able to carry on a conversation at that pace which really surprised me. Last year at this time anything under 8 minute miles and I was grateful. Boston just seems closer and closer! Like they say in Happy Gilmore “YOU CAN DO IT!” I ran 111 miles this month (178km). Very happy with that as I’m holding up pretty well!
