Unfortunately I only have 2 runs to report. I've been working on fellowship applications and Silas has been sleeping in, so there's not a lot of motivation to get up early and run.
I went out with Silas Wednesday evening - before dinner, this time - for a modified Hopkins loop. I figured out the loop was shorter than I remembered and tacked a little bit on in the middle and at the end. 6.6 miles in 50:25. I remember feeling like I was really dragging and probably running pretty slowly, but gmaps doesn't lie, and the run came in under 7:40 pace, which I consider a good clip for an easy run. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not.
Seebo came to California for a family vacation, so we met up for dinner (burritos and gelato) last night and a run this morning. He's taking a break from serious training, and apparently I am too, so we decided to run for an hour or so down to Oakland. Si and I met him near his hotel, and I tried to play tour guide by running past such sites as People's Park and the old Black Panthers headquarters. I missed most of the spots I was looking for, though, so I guess I'll have to keep my day job. It was nice to shoot the shit and catch up a bit, though. My 7.8 miles went down in about 1:08, just like the slow days of Club West Philly (sans Deirdre, of course). Later, Steve brought the kids over for breakfast, and Christine and I made a chard tart and pancakes. Seebo's parenting style seems pretty similar to mine; in spite of this, his kids seem pretty well adjusted, so that's a good sign.
