I ran this evening with the ARC Thursday Evening running group. We met at 6:15 PM at the rock under the Mopac bridge. There were about 8 runners, including Jack, Bill, Josh and Troy (the leader).
The group was a whole lot faster than I remembered from last year; perhaps it was a different group. Anyway, I enjoyed myself. Bill and I were about the same pace, at least up until the half-way point, so I talked a little with him. He and his wife (who was running also, but she was in the fast group) moved here from Los Angles about a year ago. They come to this run about twice a month and were going to the social hour after the run. This will be their first time to attend the social hour.
I talked to Troy about the run and about the upcoming races. His favorite race is the half marathon, but he did the Daisy 5K recently. Josh will be doing the Roundup this Saturday; he appears to be a strong runner, so I expect he will do well. This will be his first 10K race.
This last week the running group did a hill workout along Stratford Drive; it sounded grueling!
In conclusion, I really liked the run and I think I will go back. Hopefully, it will help get my speed up.
Here is Garmin version of the run. It was a good tempo run.
