Eight miles today. we went out onto the Arizona strip today and ran. The first half mile is brutal. Loose gravel with a slight uphill. You can't get any traction. The group also started out at 7:20 pace and I could not stay with them on the gravel. I talked to Ben on the way back and he said it is an unconcious reaction to running with people, you naturally speed up. But again, I was too far behind to catch up completely. I am going to Acceleration today to build speed, so that should give me an extra mile.
