This weekend's long run on Saturday (to be 18-20 miles) ended up being cancelled due to Friday's inclement weather. But luckily, one of the DFMC'ers set up an informal group run of 17 out of Newton. I ended up running the 17 with a new group of people I hadn't met before, at a monster clip--at least for me. The 17 miles ended up at around 2:31 per Steve's apocalypse-stopping Bond watch--just over 81/2 minute miles, I think. (Don't quote me; math isn't really my strong suit.) That's a pretty aggressive pace for me, but it was great to get through such a challenging run, and to get to know some of the faces.
In more exciting news! Evan, my cousin, just sent me a guest blog. He was one of the people who inspired me to start running halves, and is now my go-to running buddy when back in North Dakota. He'll be running his first marathon in May, I think, and it's been awesome being able to discuss how our training is going.
