I ran at noon with Nathan, Will, Darin, and Tyler. Will kept it short as he is still recovering from his knee surgery. Nathan and Tyler turned back after a couple of miles. Nathan had to get to a meeting. Darin and I completed the 5.2 mile Lake View course. I was worried about stomach cramps, but they held off until I got back.

It was a beautiful fall day and I enjoyed the run. Darin helped me average 7:55/mi for the run. I think it's the first time I've run a sub-8:00 pace since the marathon. It's nice to know I still can. I still think it will be a while before I try sub-7:00.

I still miss those Lake View lunch runs, even though I enjoy getting out for a noon run when I'm working at home. I'm looking forward to creating some new running traditions (as soon as we can locate some shower facilities, that is). Hope things are going well for you in the transition.
