On a crisp, cold, beautiful morning, most of us did 9, some did less, some did more. Lindsey Gendall joined us. She's training for the Napa Valley Marathon in March (which Wanda has run). Adam peeled off after about 2 miles in to complete about 4 and then head out to the 5K in East Windsor (which Rose has done). Tray wanted 13 or so so she kept going and Mike and Lee and Lindsey headed home. Mike did 3 before we all started so he did a total of about 12.
We averaged about 10 minutes miles, about a minute slower than Lindsey had in mind. I think Tracy and she could have left Mike and Lee in the dust but they were kind and didn't :). I asked Lindsey (who has never run a marathon) what time she had in mind and her "3:47" made me realize she is a disciplined runner with a specific plan and goal. She's using Hal Higdon's plan.
Caught this picture as we were coming back. Almost didn't get the balloon. Mr Mike flanked by Purple Peeps. Priceless.
