AM: Progressive run in north Tampa at Flatwoods. I cut the run short at 13 as Anthony was hurting and I didn't want to impose since he drove. We started super slow for a progressive at about 7:40/mile, ended up dropping Anthony who was still hurting. We then lowered it from there pretty much down to 6:00/mile pace by the end. I felt fine and conversational which felt nice.
Also, got to do a real run with Jonathan- wow. If I could give him my love of running, Anthony's drive to get better, and mix it with Jonathan's talent and effort he would be Olympic-Trials-qualifying by the end of 2018 in either the half or the marathon. I've seen talent before, but having never run in college or high school I suppose I've never seen real talent like him. It was a pleasure to watch him glide.
