Gym Class Dropout

(7 miles) I coached this morning and I'm so proud of my current walkers! They are doing awesome and are so motivated! Once the 1/2 marathoners were done I headed back out to see if I could catch up with the full marathoners. I wasn't able to catch up (my full marathoners this season are all alumni and are SUPER fast walkers) so I ran back with some of the runners. Yes...the walk coach was running. It was only about a mile and a half but I'm paying the price now. I think I'll stick to the walking. I did manage to get in a 15 minute mile walking which is my goal pace for race day.
