AM - 21 miles. Met up with the biggest long run crew ever down at Riverton Park. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that there were ~35 people there. Obviously I'm not going to list all the names, but we had a ton of bloggers. It was a lot of fun and a great group of guys to run with this morning. We started off by running the Riverton 1/2 marathon course, which has a bunch of short, steep uphills. The first 12 miles were at ~6:30 pace, then Matt decided to string it out, so we ran the 13th mile in 5:25. Got a drink at the cars, then headed back out with a goal of going slower, but everyone remaining in the group was feeling pretty good and we ran ~6:25 pace for the next 7 miles. Fritz was willing to throw down a slightly faster last mile (5:12) with me to finish it off.

Thanks to everyone that came out... good synergy out there this morning! I love when we can get so many good good runners, working towards a common goal, out there pushing each other. 

PM - 4 miles shakeout, very easy.

Great run this morning Jake! I had some serious stomach issues. I will be healthy and get with you guys more! I need it!

Quite an elite crew...looks like you are getting the perfect group for me when I'm ready for marathon tempos!

Sounds more like a road race to me. 35 people, miles run in 5:25!

We almost had enough to do a gun start. Eventually we won't need to sign up for races, although intersections get tricky without escorts.

Great week of running Jake.

I agree Jake. It was an awesome group and a great run.

Nice job with the speedy mile at the end. I hope you start feeling better, it is amazing you had such a great week considering you are pretty sick.

Wow, that did sound like a road race. You guys were almost averaging my marathon pace. Nice workout!

Thanks for showing up to our "little" event. Fantastiic running with subpar health. See you on the 18th.

It doesn't count if you don't list everyone's names.

From Bryce on Sat, Feb 04, 2012 at 23:33:47 from 76.27.58.194

Must have been quite a sight to see that many people running at a good clip. Impressive group, nice work to all.

It was a great time today. It's very motivating for me to hear your goals and know how hard you're willing to work. Super cool!

Look forward to another great run on the 18th. Keep up the excellent work!
