Alien Brad

After stocking up at WinCo and REI for supplies for an upcoming backpacking trip (only the essentials: candy, cheese, bean dip, Fritos, biodegradable soap), Brad took me on his 3-mile route around our neighborhood.

Our training called for running 15 minutes, walking 1 and running 15. Since it was a short distance (compared to Monday's 9 miles!), I sped it up.
My first interval was 9:25-minute miles. And my second interval was 8:44!

My average, including my walk break, was 9:12. My 5K PR is 9:10. So even with walking a minute, I almost set a new PR!!!! WOOHOO!

I love all the reflectors. Brad looks like some kind of alien :)
