6 Miles at Buffalo Creek

Lauren and I were joined by Richard Coulombe for our run today. I got it in our heads that Lauren would be ready to start training at an 8:30/mi as I really think I could do it after maintaining at least 80% of my current endurance level since the marathon.

We started at around 7:30 at Cain Middle School with our route taking us through Buffalo Creek. 3 miles out and back with stops every 2 miles wasthe plan. I think a combination of one last day filled with a moderate amount of junk and the heat/humidity did us in. I'm looking forward to the end of summer. Final breakdown below.
