5-mile Group Run

I left the house at 6:20 this morning to drive down to Ithaca for the group run. I am a devoted NPR listener and was able to enjoy Soundprint on WRVO until I lost signal in Ithaca. I was disappointed not to be able to hear the end of the segment on the couple who competed in ballroom dancing at the International Gay Games but I may still listen to it on the Soundprint website.

I have to drive down to Ithaca again later this morning and I'm looking forward to listening to one of my favorite programs, Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me (the oddly informative news quiz.)

The run was fine. We only did 5 miles today, maybe to rest up for the 9 miles we're going to do next weekend. We maintained a steady pace and finished the run in about 55 minutes. (I keep forgetting to stop my watch when we actually stop running so I can't say exactly how long it was.)

We were a small group (4 participants and the assistant coach) but we all managed to stay together, the weather was pleasantly cool, and it was a productive way to start off the weekend.
