AM - ran 3.35 miles with Sparky, unknown time because my watch didn't start up again when I pushed the start button (and no Garmin). Guessing somewhere around 8:20 pace. Then ran another 2 miles by myself, accidentally ran faster than I realized because I messed up with the time - I thought I was actually running at about 8:45 pace, but it was really 7:45 pace. Knee felt fine, except for a brief period where I had sped up with Sparky to try to get him to run next to me and have slack in the leash instead of him running behind me and there being tension in the leash. Kind of aggravating at times, because it pulls back on me. I think this also has an effect on how fast I run alone - I get used to running at a certain pace with Sparky, and then when I run, because I don't have that force pulling back on me, I end up running faster. PM - ran 1 mile with Sam in 9:52, then 0.65 with Joey in 7:02. They both did very well, in spite of the wind starting to pick up. Sam ran almost half a mile without holding my hand, and was able to maintain the pace quite well. |
