Fun yet cold run with Andrea, Jake, Scott, Matt, Mike and Chad.  The plan was a 10 mile tempo on a loop course with a few warm up and cool down miles.  I knew my hamstring wouldn't like the workout but I still wanted to go out with Matt and Jake to see long I/it would last.  I ended up doing the first 3 in about 5:20 with Jake and Matt then backed it off and finished the 10 miles averaging about 5:40. Everyone had good runs and it was great that Scott was able to join. Matt is getting in great shape so we all better watch out. My hamstring definitely needs more work and I also need to pound the pavement more to get the legs in better running shape.  Achieving both simultaneously could be tricky. :) After the run we were treated to great breakfast prepared by Andrea, who by the way, looked as quick as ever on her 7 mile run. Thanks Andrea and Jake for having us over. Ended up at the gym afterwards to get in some stretching and PT.

I like that Andrea gets the BOLD font for her long run.

I think you did the right thing today... no sense in throwing a massive stress at the body all at once (long and fast). You gotta play it safe w/ that hammy.

Nice run Fritz. That's a great group to do a tempo with!

Great as always to run with you Fritz. Very smart to listen to your body. You are never far away from peak performance. Like Jake, I love that Andrea's 7-mile run got the BOLD -- it is well-deserved. Take care of that hamstring.
