Easy run with Zak

Again - today was supposed to be a rest day, but I can't pass up the opportunity to run with someone and on such an awesome weather day. Zak and I met at the museum which gave me a nice 1 mile warm up. He was interested in going up to the summit at East Rock park (aka Mt Doom as he calls it). So we worked our way back to East Rock and up the hill. Took a quick break at the top to take in the sites and back we went. Did a kick today for the last little bit - got and held a 5:00 pace for about 100 meters. Today felt great - weather was awesome. I look forward to the Hartford Quarter Marathon this weekend - should be a fun time.
