I ran the first three miles or so with Jill (I've dropped the 'zibit. Some things sound better in my mind than they look in print). She runs at around 11:00/mile, so that partially accounted for the slowish overall pace. As with the last couple of runs, this wasn't particularly challenging despite one or two fairly steep (but also fairly short) hills. In terms of aches and pains, this week has perhaps been the most comfortable so far, with very little to speak of. I believe this is partly a result of better warmups and stretching, and partly due to me maintaining a slower pace. All systems are therefore a go for my long run on Sunday, which this week will be 7 miles.
I'm actually a little more concerned with Jill at the moment. Her left knee has been causing her some discomfort the last few runs. Hopefully it is something that can be addressed with ice, a little rest and, if necessary, a brace of some kind.
