Cedar River Trail. 7:30 a.m. I met up with the Cedar River runners at Lake Wilderness Lodge. I met up with Anna because she said she wanted to run there with Mishel and I. However, it didn't work out for Mishel due to close to church time getting back. The weather was absoluetly GOREGOUS today!!! It was in the high 40s but clear skies and the sun came out for a lot of the time! We had a nice size group. Some included Cliff, Trev, Tony, Mary, etc...There were also 2 other lady runners. There was Gage, Anna's dog and then Mary brought her dog, Emily I believe was her name. We had some other guys as well. I think there were maybe 8-10 of us. We also happen to be running the same time there was a race going on for Halloween 1/2 marathon. We saw 3 ladies with cute halloween socks as well. I ran with Anna most of the time and some new guy who seemed pretty into running bc he has done 3 iron man runs. He was trying to keep his pace low though. We ran with Mary near the end of the run after we stopped for 5-10 min for bathroom breaks at end of run before we had to turn around. The pace that we kept was very fast pace! Anna definetly kept me going a lot faster than I would normally run. That is why we mainly stayed in the 8 min mile range until the end I was so tired! I didn't eat any gu but I had some of propel water and also had a small breakfast before the run. When we got to the end we got to have cinnamon rolls that Cliff brought (I kept them in my car while we ran for him) and hot chocolate that Mary had brought! Fun Fun! I had to take off to make it in time for church!
