I went up Smithfield Canyon with my dad which was super fun, I haven't ran with him in forever. We went eight miles and averaged an 8:30 pace, which was really nice. Sometimes he'd tell me to run to a mailbox or a mile-marker, then come back, so I may have ran a little further. We had a lot of fun. It's nice to go slow after running most of my miles around and 8:00. 8:00 miles aren't fast, but they're not easy, either.
After we got home, I need three more miles to round off at 45 miles for the week, so Ruby (my dog) and I went 2 miles. I noticed she was cold, and I was tired, so I ran my last mile on the treadmill. I'm glad I got my goal mileage for my first week of winter training.
