Well, I talked to Larry and it seems he and Wayne have been going out at 8:00am instead of 5:45am. I can't say as I blame them. We plan to hook up again Saturday morning, but today was a solo run. I went 6.2 miles around local streets at an average pace of 8:38/mi.

Hey Paul if you want to go anything up to 8 miles tomorrow (Friday) I would love the company. I'm a bit dead-legged and hoping to go long Saturday so I'll probably be in the 8:30-9:30 range if you don't mind going that slow.

Tom - I'm kind of busy at work and was planning to run in the morning, but if I get in early I think a noon run will be okay, and the break may even make me more productive in the afternoon.

I was planning on 6-8 miles tomorrow, the pace you suggest sounds good to me, and I would also enjoy the company. My schedule is flexible. Just pick the time and course and I'll plan to join you.

Great! Does around 11:30 work for you?

From Paul T on Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 12:15:20

Yes, 11:30 is great. I'll plan to be ready to run at 11:30.
