Week Runs

Sunday - off

Monday - 8

Tuesday - Ran with a friend and her baby stroller, 7

Wednesday - ugh. I wanted to run early, but didn't get up before it got hot. So, ran in the evening down the Cherry Creek path. I tried to just go on autopilot and not think that I was running as far as I was. 11

Thursday - Ran with 2 friends. Super stiff from the 11 miles a mere 9 hours/6 hours of sleep before. 7

Friday - Ran with a friend, 6 in the morning with 6 1 minute-long pick ups. 2 shake out in the afternoon. 10

Saturday - Woo! This was the longest run I've done in awhile and I was actually a bit nervous about it. I also had a feeling I would be slower than the other 3 women. I prepped with a water bottle, goo and body glide (I don't know what I'd do without that stuff). I was right. They started off something ridiculous like a 7:30-7:45 pace. I was nervous about being able to make it that far. I also tend to start slowly and then pick it up after I've warmed up. Just like Dad. Anyway, I think i was most proud of myself not for finishing, but for having the self-confidence to back off and do what was right for me. I told them I was going to go more slowly and just chilled out for five miles or so. Then, once I knew I would finish and felt pretty good, I picked it up/cruised in the last 45 minutes or so. Then, Jamba Juice. :) 16
