Morning Group Run

A local running store has group runs on Saturday mornings. Needing some motivation and camaraderie I went yesterday. I guess winter mornings are not popular in Connecticut. It turned out to be me and these two young men. I was worried I would slow them down but they weren't concerned. My first group run with them was on a Wednesday night after a snow storm which proved to be quite adventurous and fun. Today they took me on a new route in Old Saybrook. It turns out there are a few hills in Old Saybrook. It was a great 8 1/2 mile run at sub 9 minute pace which as of late is quite a record for me especially since I didn't feel winded or out of breath while running.
