Easy run with good friends, plan on going with the running club tonight to get some more miles in. Running late this morning so will type more later after tonights run.
avg pace 8:14
What a great run I had tonight with the club! I ran up from my house 1.5 mi to the store(had to start out uphill and a little faster to make it in time but I wanted a warmup before I started out with the speedsters. There are alot of fun people there. I have been worried about Painters, just because I have upped my mileage and really have done much in the speed work department. But tonight I realized that although I may not being getting a PR (which I have never planned on at all) I think I will be able to do ok in this run. When I am running with people that are pushing the pace, I do okay keeping up. Tonight reminded me kinda of a race in the aspect of it was me and all guys andI did not want them to think I was a wimp so I held on, in the race its the same thing, when there are others around me I kick into a different gear and my mental takes over my physical and I can hang on to others around me. So tonights run did me mentally good (as well as physical). I started out with Steve, Dustin, Dave, Bill and Mike and then stayed with Dustin for a little and then Mike for a little and then turned off early and ran home,ending up with 9 mi.
7:13, 7:22, 7:15, 6:49, 6:58, 6:52, 6:43 , had a mile warmup from the store and a mile cool down. (I think a couple of those would have been faster if Dustin and Dave didnt have me laughing so hard that I could bearly run!!!) |
