Beach Drive with Henry and Mike, pushed it up to 12 today. Big crowd of Slugs at Annapolis at 6:30 a.m., which is pretty cool. Mild, rainy morning, high 40s. Henry, like he tends to do, was out like a shot. We made fun of him -- but the pace stayed where he set it. My watch conked after mile 1 so I don't have splits, but all that he called out (he didn't say every one, couldn't interrupt good running conversation) were sub-7. Based the total time (about 1:22 or so), we averaged around 6:50/mile. Just clipping along this morning, we were really moving well and the pace felt fast but not uncomfortable. I felt fantastic and not really taxed at all, Mike said he was a little drained on the way back but we stuck with it. Finished one water bottle and a small Clif during the run, and my stomach loves me for it. That's the end to another really good week for January, if I get a good long run in tomorrow (trail run planned) I'll be within a few of 150 miles for the month, which wasn't supposed to be on my radar until March or so. So a good start to 2010. supernova glide -- 239
