with Sandy on the river trails. I let her set the pace since she said her knee is wonky and she didn't want to go to far. Then she took off like a shot and I was gasping for air trying to keep up with her. Eventually I asked for a walk break. Then she started running a bit slower, and threw in several walk breaks. By then end, she was going at my pace. We both admitted that we went further and harder than if we had been on our own, which I suppose is good.
Some topics of conversation: tiny houses; black snakes; sisters trip; explaining how O maps are made.

Woodridge unofficial run (since I vetted the course). I wanted to beat both Fritz and Carrie's time, but ended up right between them. I chose to take the trail from 8-9 because I was curious how it compared (it was 1 minute slower, so not a good route choice).
I was trying to push the pace, but since I did this right after weights, it was a bit tough sometimes. I walked more than I would have liked. I was also frustrated with my Garmin HR, which showed as 103 when I was running hard across a field. I know my HR was higher than Garmin readouts. I adjusted my HR in this entry because I'm tracking my load. It sucks to have wonky HR readings when you're using it to track your training progress.
Beautiful day out in the woods, but the vegetation is starting to arrive. The end is near....
I was supposed to work with my trainer today. But I totally got the time mixed up. He texted me to see if I was coming. So weird! Fortunately he had an open slot tomorrow morning.
