7 miles!!!

Although I have not been writing, I have been running (and stretching). Slowly I am building my mileage back up and keeping myself injury free. Last Saturday I ran with the team for the first time in well over a month. Ran with the 1/2 marathon group as they were doing 7 miles and felt really good the whole time. The course route took us through the Hyde Park area of Austin which has some really cool houses to look at. Felt like running in New Orleans again with the early craftsman style houses on big lots (instead of the current trend of big houses on small lots). Felt like I was keeping a good pace until I was passed very quickly by the Rouge Training group that is for the Austin Marathon in February to qualify for the Boston Marathon. They thundered past me like I was standing still.......I did not even try to keep pace with them! Finished up my 7 miles in a little over an hour which put me in the high 9's but I am happy with that.
Will be shooting for a 10 mile run this Saturday.......look forward to that!
