A very nice run, very slow and easy for me, but it was 8 miles with Andrea and after mile 2 when Laszlo turned around, Lauren joined us for the last 6.  We did a bit of talking and catching up. 

Our Rancho Vistoso course is pretty nice, but hilly with about 500 or so feet of climbing, not too bad, but makes you work.

 

Good run overall, trying to get a good massage this afternoon.

All with Jeff, felt pretty good. Slower mile 3 because of the two large turns up and over Craycroft and back down.
