Great 20 mile run in Starkey Park with Raj and Eudair. Weather was perfect, low 60's, cloudy (it rained later that morning, so lucky to miss it). Met up about 6:15, warmed up a little bit and then got going. Started out with Raj, Eudair, and Derek. Derek was with us for about 4 miles. I brought my Flip video camera with me and took about 9 minutes worth of video (but it was very shaky, I'll have to see if I can fix it up). Went out to the end of the Starkey park bike trail, then headed north onto the Suncoast parkway trail, until we reached 10 miles. Turned around and then felt the wind right away. It seems you hardly ever notice the wind at your back, just when you turn around. Wasn't too bad, and it was only directly at us until we turned back onto the Starkey park trail, then it was a bit calmer. I went ahead by myself with about 5 miles left, then really picked it up for the last two miles with 6:45 and 6:34. Hadn't done a 20 mile run in a while so it was good to finish this and feel good at the end. Average pace: 8:06
Missed out on the social hour but grabbed some leftovers as David was packing up. Later in the evening I took another shot at the Wii push-up challenge. This time I was prepared and did all 100 push-ups. It was pretty hard because you have to do them slowly according to the whistle, down, back up, pause, repeat.
