Back out at Ben Geren with Jamie, Terry and Debbie. Jamie and Terry ran off and left us as usual, but Deb and I had a good run. I'd leave her on the uphills, she'd catch and pass me on the flats. With a little over a mile to go she was probably 150 yards ahead of me and I decided I had to reel her in. I did. Caught her with about 400 yards to go; ran that last mile at 7:35 pace. We went up and back on the bike trail west of Massard, and in between did the amphitheater loop the hard way. So lots of steep hills up and down. I needed a run like this to rebuild my confidence. Can I run 3:28? Dunno. Can I run decently? Yeah, I think so.
