Went 8 instead of full loop. I didn't want to push distance since I was limited in my running choices last week during my multi-day college tour trip. Ran with Aden and Evan and we went out pretty dang fast. We were packed up the first 2 miles and then I fell back for the last 2 before turning around with them. Stuck up with Aden for mile 5 and then fell off again. My honest reflection is that it was damn tough. I think we went out a little too fast first couple miles and that sort of hampered my ability to stay with Aden because realistically he was only going around 6 min pace according to his log for majority of the run so I need to work on my ability to stay up and fight through the pain that comes with running fast. Iced my ankles when I got home since they were bothering me after the run. I don't want to risk injury so I am taking tomorrow super light and will train on my exercise bike.
