First run in 10 days, eek!
I went to bed rather late last night (or this morning, I guess) which was pretty stupid since I agreed to meet two of my friends for a run at 8:30 in the morning. I woke up sometime before my alarm went off because there was a glorious storm, and I'm ashamed to say that my first thought was, "It's raining? Great! I don't have to run after all today. I can sleep in!" And I fell asleep and had a scary zombie dream that didn't end very well. I then woke up and got dressed for our run (it stopped storming just in time...craaap yay).
It was a perfect run: cool weather with breezes here and there, great company, and minor body pain! We did close to 8 miles in 1:21:37. Yes, we're all slow when we run together non-competitively. I'm okay with that if I can increase my distance each time. I set up a profile with dailymile and recorded all my runs this month, and boy, am I slow when I'm not running a race! I run at like a 10-11 minute mile pace! But somehow the three of us manage to do 5Ks under 30 minutes--I suppose it's easier to push myself when it's only a few miles.
We're planning on doing it again this Saturday. I'm excited, but I'm more excited for where we'll be going AFTER the run:
Could life get any better than spending time with friends who not only enjoy working out, but also love to eat as much as I do? I think not! Can't wait for the weekend!

A food truck! And not just any food truck--they have empanadas!! |
