My fingers were icy

Thursday, 12/17/09
like last week
headed into town
got there late
but not as late as last week
folks had already left several minutes before
began my run thinking perhaps I'd catch them
kept running
hit 4-mile mark in 28:35 (28:15 last week)
caught one guy at about 7.25-mile mark
slowed down so as not to be a show off
jogged big hill
hit top of hill in 53:05 (52:55 last week)
think I woul have hit 52:55 had I not slowed down
this means I ran the 4-7.5 faster than I did last week
jogged, waiting for other runner
finished up 7.9 in 56:45 (56:15 last week)
am sure I lost at least 30 seconds slowing down and waiting for comrade
felt good-second strongest run on this route
especially running by myself
being late is not so bad but
it was 24 degrees and my fingers were icy.
