Levy Loop Classic/Sweetheart Loop

I walked and ran Levy Loop Classic this morning in 27:13. I planned to walk easily all the way, but about a quarter into the second mile, Mary Lyons caught me from behind, slowed to a trot, and said, "Do you want to do a half?" I thought she meant a half mile. I didn't, but said, "Sure," and started running. Within a block I understood she meant to ask if I wanted to run a half-marathon in Conway next month. I ran probably a little under a ten-minute pace with her for about a half mile, mostly on Maple, before she turned east to go up the 47th Street hill. My legs felt great on that dash. My plan was, and remains, to run tomorrow morning. I hope I feel as good then as I do now. Maybe it was the Christian rock coming from Mary's headphone.

I walked the Sweetheart Loop this afternoon in 48:05.
