AM - ran 3.5 miles by myself, then 3.5 miles with Sparky. On my run, started out nice and easy for the first 1/2 mile, then after I was warmed up, I started hitting 3:5x 1/2 mile splits consistently, which felt very good. On the last 1/2 mile, I decided to spice things up a bit, and was shooting for marathon pace, but overdid it just a bit and ended up with a 3:13 last 1/2 mile, more like 1/2 marathon pace. Oh well, it still felt good to open up a bit. Time for my run was 26:51, average pace of 7:40/mile, mostly due to the last 1/2 mile. On my run with Sparky, no vpb stops today, we ran the 3.5 miles in 28:30, average pace of 8:09/mile. Perhaps a little faster than I had wanted and a reason why he tried to slow down a couple of times. Tomorrow I will need to take it a little easier with him. Due to Webelos scouts this evening, I probably will not be able to get in a run with the boys today.
PM - was able to run with Samuel - 1 mile in 10:06.
