Mianus River Park, Greenwich, CT run with Johan

From Saturday

5:04 Miles
1:30:37 Time
17:59 Pace

Went with my friend Johan.  Time includes some stopping to drink/eat and some walking.  First time to Mianus River Park, but as I have said before, if you don't run trails you are missing out.

4.88 Mile Run With Johan

4.88 Miles
48:12 Time
9:53 Pace

It was pouring when I got to the Greenwich Running Company for the group run.  Me and Johan just talked to the staff there until it eased up and then decided to just drive back to Stamford to run.  It felt like I was running faster than I was.  We might run some Mianus trails this weekend.

7.52 Mile Run With Tom

7.52 Miles
1:28:42 Time
11:48 Pace

I ran with my friend Tom, who isn't a big runner or so I thought.  I wasn't running with him the whole time, but despite his basketball shoes he wore he was ahead of me most of the time, though he took more walking breaks than I did.  First time in awhile I actually ran in Cove Park, despite the fact I live so close.

6.02 Mile Run With Ron

6.02 Miles
56:59 Time
9:28 Pace

I ran with Ron who I met at the local running group.  He is a 3:30 ish marathoner and 20 ish 5Ker.  I was a little intimidated but he said he was due for a recovery run.  I told him for 5+ mile runs pacewise I am low 9s on good days and low 10s on bad days.  He actually said I was selling myself short during the run today.

The pace for the run turned out to be my best among the 36 runs I have done between 6-6.99 miles, we went a little beyond 5 (the last PR was back in November and that was mostly track workout).
Also, as I was going down a backroad a truck drove by slowly.  There was a tree and some of the top branches were above the road.  As the truck went by and brushed the branch, I thought to myself, good thing I am not right under it, and the next thing I know it falls to the ground.  It wasn't a huge branch and I was 10 feet away, but it could do some damage if it hit me.
