Today I hooked up with a friend (Justin) and we ran in the late morning. Well-nourished with Yogurt and Grapefruit juice, I felt pretty good. Our pace was my fastest yet do to my male ego, but I suppose it was needed after yesterday difficult run. As we ran I felt pretty good and as normal I picked up the pace as we climbed the hills and I could tell my younger partner didn’t quite have my aggressive mentality and when I mentioned it, he responded that I was indeed pushing the hills. I guess I treat hill as if they are training opportunities and I also like the challenge. We rolled on through Newington Village and enjoyed conversation about baseball and miscellaneous life stuff. I have been lucky lately to have a couple of great partners to run with and it’s been a nice change for me.

The run ended up being uneventful besides a much faster pace. We discussed meeting tomorrow and I may have to ask that we slow it down a bit as my legs are tired. I have to be smart and patient with running so often and letting my ego dictate is not all that smart. We ran 6.5 miles at just over 8 minute miles. My pace needs to stay around 9:20 for the amount of miles I putting in each week. Nevertheless, it was a fun run and my week is rolling along!

Tomorrow is supposed to be Treadmill Wednesday, but it looks like I will be outside again. Thursday may end up being treadmill day with the way it’s looking. Good mental day today! Not much else to write about. Oh yeah, I need new running shoes! Both my knees are hurting and that usually means it’s time for some new feet!

See you tomorrow!
