Running Log

Ran with a group this morning.  I was told we’d do eight miles, and I knew the group would likely run a faster pace than I normally maintain when running by myself.  But I figured I’d push myself a little bit.  When we all met up at the circle, Brandon said “aw hell with it, lets do ten today”.  A little part of me died right there.  But I pushed on, running far faster and further than I ever thought I would. The last 1-2 miles, I was literally breaking down, but I forced myself to keep putting one foot ahead.  Just keep running.  Ignore everything else.

Then when plotting it out on gmap-pedometer, turns out we didn’t even do ten.  We did eleven!

Today’s route: 11.04 miles, 1hr 35min.

    Wow, thats pretty impressive. You’re running faster than I did this morning. I did 13 miles, averaging around 9 minutes/mile the first 6-7 miles or so. My time slowly dropped and I averaged 10 min flat/mile (okay, I sped up at the end to make sure it’d be even 10, not 10:02). I guess this shows the advantages of running in a group.
