Today I am thankful for good friends! Thanks to Heather, I got my run in today at 8:30 pm. My alarm went off at 5 am, when I was going to join the Sole Sisters (the fast bunch) for a run. I got out of bed and "ouch"! My calves were in painful KNOTS. (I have my personal training session to thank for this) I really didn't want to try to keep up w/ the fast bunch this morning with my sore legs- so I figured I'd go out alone at 10am, then 11am, then before you knew it I was having lunch w/ Jim and the kids were getting out of school, etc... etc...Once 6pm came I had pretty much accepted that I wasn't getting in my run. That's when Heather saved the day. She had gotten in 5 mi. this morning, but was fighting off a good bout of PMS and needed another run! We had a great run. I'm not thrilled with our time (10:20 average pace) but I guess that's what you get when you talk nonstop the whole time, esp. while climbing hills. I'm looking forward to a harder/ faster run Friday and maybe even Sat. Tomorrow I will meet Sara for 4. Goodnight and happy running dear bloggers! |
