Sunday Long Run - Feb 26

Shortish long run today, did only slightly over 18.  Weather was ugly, cold windy, so at 6:30 AM, I decided that an additional hour of sleep was going to do me more good than an additional 8k.  Hope I am right.

We took the west route into fish creek to get out of the wind.  The groups kinda spread out a little bit more that it should of, so instead of 3 groups, we had like 5, with instructor and pacer (me) in the middle group.   Less than an ideal situation.

I got my extra couple of K's in by running back and picking up the last group, continuing to give them encouragement as we ran along.  I think that last group is running too slow, and by too slow, I mean well below their capabilities for a slow sunday run.  They could and should be running faster, while still keeping the heart rate down to an acceptable level.
