I was supposed to just do 10 miles this morning, and I usually run alone on Monday mornings, splitting up the miles between treadmill and the road. But Raj had texted me the night before asking if I wanted to run 11 miles with him. I figured I might as well start the week off ahead and I usually try not to pass up a chance to run with someone else. Arrived at the Y just after 6:00. I went inside and warmed up for 5 minutes on the elliptical before heading outside. We started pretty much on time around 6:15. It was right at 40 degrees this morning and I was wishing I had brought a hat with me. A little cold at first, but warmed up some while running. The running felt pretty comfortable, except for a few isolated hamstring twinges here and there after mile 4. We were not able to get around the construction area so we had to turn back and take the detour which meant we ran a little bit farther than the planned 11 miles. Average pace: 8:02
