Today I decided to go to a TNT Alumni Run, but since I had 13 miles on my plate, I had to get up early enough to run 6-7 miles before I got to the run. Luckily it was in GGP, so I could do one of my usual routes down to Ocean Beach. However, I didn't really get up early enough, so I found myself running much faster than I should have been in an effort not to be late. I clocked 6.75 miles at around a 9'30" pace.
Then after a several minute intermission (maybe up to 20 minutes), I headed out for a 7 mile run with the group. I was lucky enough to run with several different running buddies for a good chunk of the route, finishing supposedly 7.5 miles at around a 9'45" pace. The course markings are usually pretty good, so I'm pretty confident that my Nike Plus is indeed now over-inflating my distances and therefore my paces. Never should have calibrated.
Anyway, I had a great time even with all the rain. Because of the rain, after the run, I ran about 0.5 miles to the train and then had to run home from the train as well. So wet! I'm guessing I totaled at least 14 miles for the day. My goal pace had been PMP + 15 (10'07"), so I was probably fast, but maybe not as fast as recorded because of my technical issues. Overall, good run! My IT band bothered me a bit the rest of the day, so I probably need to head back in for some body work.
