Got a few runs in this week. Tuesday I went out with the 555 Gals...this is my name for them as we meet at 5:55am Tues/Thurs. Had a pretty good run. Tried to do 3 x 8 min intervals..holy, I was all over the map with pace and HR!!! I have some work to do in that department.
Saturday rolls around and most of the gals are doing the Hypo Half Marathon in February. They had planned a 14km run today. I have not ran further than about 7km in the past 3 months...yikes!! I had my exit strategy all worked out...we were meeting at the Farmer's Market and running along the river. We have many bridges in this city so I was planning to fake cold hands or a sore foot or just plain tired...take off across a bridge and make my way back to my vehicle. We get running and they start talking about coffee/breakfast after the run...we are running pretty good and it turns out to be a gorgeous morning...we take many walk breaks to circle back for a few and we get chatting and the time just flies by!!
Lo and behold, back at the Market, I check Garmin and I ran/walked 16.6km!!
Holy Shit.
And I felt amazing afterwards.
I love running again!!
