I ran Eagle View with Nathan. I thought I was going to end up running alone, and was planning to push the pace a little, but Nathan showed up at the last minute and we ended up pushing the pace a lot. Even though Nathan had run fast in the Hurricane 1/2 Marathon on Saturday, and he said his legs were a little stiff, he still easily outran me. He beat me up the hill by 12+ seconds. He let me catch up there, and had to stop at a light on the way back where I caught up again, but still he finished another 12+ seconds ahead of me on the return trip. Even though I couldn't keep up with Nathan, I did set a new PR for this course at 37:27 (7:29/mi). I think part of this was due to the fact that I didn't run in the morning before this run (like I usually do), and I only did a light run on Saturday.
