Showed up at the meeting spot yesterday to find that the speedy training-for-Boston guy and I were the only ones who showed up. Coach wasn't there, but I really didn't expect that to be a deterrant for the rest of the group. Oh well, their loss!
It started off a little awkward. The Boston guy felt obligated to run with me, but I didn't want to hold him back. I kept telling him that he could go on ahead, but he insisted that we stick together. When it was all said and done, we had gone 4.6 miles. Time actually went by fairly quickly because I had someone new to chat with.
Today is a rest day. Tomorrow I have 10 on the schedule. *Gulp*
Good for you and speedy running guy for showing up! (And running together!) Well done.
ReplyDeleteThat guy seems like a nice guy and it probably didn't suck for him to have someone to run with now that you are getting fast :) I'm sure you will rock the run this weekend. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteNice that you had someone to run with. Good luck with the 10 -- your running has been going so well that I bet the 10 wll be great, too!
ReplyDeleteNice work sticking through the run, and good luck on 10! Hooray!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about all the no-shows... at least you got your run done!
ReplyDeleteSOunds like a great run with a new face!!! Great job!! Have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteway to be disciplined when the coach is not around. I have a 2 hour run tomorrow and it is supposed to be a deluge and gusty tomorrow. I can't imagine that long on the 'mill.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the 10! You will do totally fine! And nice job running without the coach!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the 10. I am supposed to do that too, we will see :-) Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the 10 miles.
ReplyDeleteOne of my "qualifies regularly for Boston" friends uses me when she needs to make sure she runs slow LOL. Bet he enjoyed a nice easy run.
I love guys like that:) Boston dude was a good person. I am sure that he had a nice time running with you too:) have a wonderful weekend Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI like people like that too. Sometimes, it gets to be a pain to tell people over and over I WANT to run with you, even though our paces don't match up :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great run, Lisa! Have fun with your 10-miler this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat was pretty nice of Boston Marathon Guy to run with you. I would have been intimidated! Way to go getting those miles in!
ReplyDeleteWell done! You'll ace the 10 miles, just don't wear yourself out worrying about it today!
