8.3 miles according to online mapping tools, but today I get to round up. I'd deliberately convinced myself not to add on a block to get to 8.5 even though I suspected I needed that if I wanted to work it our to a nice round number. Funny how I still battle in my head about this sort of thing. I ran to meet Jenny who is in town for the week, and we intercepted at Reno and Davenport. Went Grant to Western Ridge to Ross to Comanche to bridge to Beach to Broad Branch to Davenport and parted at Reno where I took a much needed breather and stretch after the long uphills. Nice to catch up with Jenny and to have company for this quality run. Trails likely slowed us some, but the effort felt sub 8. First mile was over eight and last half mile was 7:20 pace, but labored a bit. Scale said I lost 5.5 lbs and it felt like that. Several of those pounds were in my shirt which I carried the last half mile.
