Hike and bike

In lieu of running this morning, I went out for an afternoon jaunt.  Sure, it was a bit warmer … okay, a lot warmer … but I got the privilege of running alongside Becky on her bicycle, which made it way more fun … even when she pointed out that she had barely broken a sweat during her 5-mile jaunt.

Dear Becky,

Really … I wonder why it wasn’t quite as hard for you.  Even still, it was a great time.  Thanks for riding alongside me while I ran!

Sincerely,

Darrell

As for my run, I had a decent one.  I gradually got into rhythm, held it through the fourth mile, then picked up the pace just a little bit to close out – but stayed within my target pace.

5 miles, 49:27, 9:53.4/mile

After the run, we headed over to grab some Biggby coffee.  As an added perk, I got to see Emily in her new gig as barista extraordinaire.

Dear Emily,

The coffee was delicious, and seeing you was great!

Sincerely,

Darrell

After that, I enjoyed dinner in Three Rivers with my friends while working on KAR stuff.
