8 miles Seems Like Nothing, Now

This Saturday's walk/run was taken down a step to 8 miles. I left with the decaf group at 5:15am. I walked with Kathy who is a real speed demon, but was moving a little slower than usual this morning. I kept up with her. We finished in 2 hours and 4 minutes which equated to a 15.5 minute mile. We had hoped to finish sooner, but we agreed that this was training and not a race. The idea was to finish in a reasonable time, and we did. It was actually chilly this morning. I started for the first 10 minutes with a jacket, then took it off. But when we were finished, I was freezing. I guess being sweaty in the cool breeze does that. What a change from the intense heat of the summer.
