Tight

Today was 15-16 miles.  The north Team group met at 6:45 and ran a 5 mile loop around the Capital.  Felt pretty good and the pace was reasonable.  Met up with the Rogue marathon and half marathoners and did 10 miles on the south Austin ramble.  My butt and hammies were super tight and kinda tired today.  I showed smartness and let the group pull away at about mile 9 and ran a consistant pace just behind them.  On the way back, they definately picked up the pace so I hung just behind Javier and Karen who also let them go.  My hammies and butt would not respond when I told them to pick it up!!  Once we got onto Congress, somehow, I was able to pick up my pace and caught Karen and Javier.  We as a group then picked up the pace and started reeling in the lead pack.  Didn't catch them but it was close!  Averaged 8:18 and the last 4 miles were 7:45, 7:58, 7:57, 8:00.  Left foot more bothersome than usual but I think that is from the track.  Had a massage and am icing it now.  Chilly day with significant wind!
