Back in the saddle after five days off. Really felt sluggish after the layoff. Kept the pace low and slow for the SHS run and felt better by the end. Today marks the start of training for St. George, so we'll see how that progresses with Alaska and other races thrown in.

Six slow with Kathy. Talked about a lot of things. Jennifer, and Emma, and Tiffany, and marathons, and women in unhappy marriages. That hour just kinda flew by. The run was just OK. Still a little sluggish but not as bad as yesterday.

Hills from the schoolhouse with the Sheris, Ronda, Pattie, and Emily. Uphills made my glutes hurt, but I felt better after the run than before it. Still trying to get back in the swing.

Long run from the Schoolhouse with Lia, Jamie, Heather, George, Spencer and (briefly) D. Langford. I knew they were going to hammer me and they did. Lagged behind until the five-mile water stop. After that, I kept up, and passed them in the last mile. Of course, they were all going another 8... Overall average was 8:28. I didn't have autolap on so I don't have mile paces, but I remember the average was 8:33 at the water stop, so that would make the pace for the last two-plus probably in the 8:15 range. And 8:28 is still faster than I averaged at Bayshore :(
