Meet the BBK group this morning.  I got there a little late for the early miles but so did Dean so I ran the first 2.45 miles with him.  I don't know if I am really out of it or what but the pace seemed fast today.  My Garmin said my average pace was 8:40 but I know this does not represent how fast we actually ran.  The pace was slow on my garmin because we slowed down several times to allow everyone to regroup.  I wonder how fast we were actually running- if I had time I suppose I could figure it out but... I don't.  

It was really nice talking and listening to the others today as I ran.  I wish it wouldn't have seemed so tough.

Nice running Tex! I know Dean likes to kill you on your warmup miles. He did it to me one morning too. lol I am glad to see you made it out!

Great run. Way to brave those freezing miles. I hope school is treating you okay. Stay strong. I would love it if I saw you at Painters!

Nice job getting up with the BBK's! You must be in elementary now :)

Hopefully you can keep coming for a couple months! I'm hoping to get back by mid/end February. However, after reading about that pace...maybe not! I'll need a nice 9mm to cruise at.
