Nice morning on Beach Drive, even felt a little warm (not shorts warm, but pleasant). Great sunrise, orange and pink light and the mountains. I ran with Henry because Mike is on vacation, we were still shooting for that elusive 7:30 pace. Our first two felt faster than usual, I guess he doesn't ease into the run as much as I do. But we were able to stay pretty conservative on the way out to the six-mile turnaround, I was dragging a bit because I haven't slept much the past two nights. The splits headed out were between 7:10 and 7:25, then a little quicker on the way back, with one wild one (6:49, seems like there's one every week). But I loosened up and felt good coming in, so that's what matters. And we had a big group of Slugs there, most I've seen in awhile for breakfast. Good day all around, and another month at 100 miles, if just barely (but it was only 28 days). Ready to start March. 1:26:41.

Do they serve you breakfast after the Slug runs? Or do you all go somewhere together?

We get together at a restaurant near our route. $3 special, though the service makes up for the deal sometimes.
