Easy run. 6:40 am, 31° F, 40% humidity, wind 2 SSE. I met Lindsay at the corner as is the custom on Mondays if I've got someone besides my daugher at home. College boy is on Spring Break this week, so I was able to observe this custom. Allie did not join us today. I don't know why. Lindsay seems to have this mental block about running farther than about 4.5 miles. I tried to get her to go farther today because we're talking about doing the Bolder Boulder in May and so she's going to have to start running a little longer at some point. So I stuck with her longer than I would have normally. We took an extra loop that we don't usuallydo, but then got to back to her house at about 4.8 miles. I wanted her to keep going to 5 miles, but she said she had to go to the bathroom. That is always her excuse for stopping. It's about a mile between her house and my house and so I was at about 5.8 or 5.9 when I went past my house, but I kept going far enough to make it an even 6. Maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe I should have stopped at 5.6 when I got a little pain in my right butt. It's feeling a little tight, but not too bad. Maybe it will feel better after a day off from running tomorrow. We were really slow today. I guess we need Allie to make us run faster. AP: 10:25. Splits: 10:48, 10:41 (this was the big hill), 10:08, 10:14, 10:36, 10:01.
