After a long cold winter of being forced to run alone on a treadmill or alone on the streets...I was blessed with being able to run with 2 great running buddies.
Only Half Crazy teammate Shelli and I ran 6 miles on Saturday morning down at the Trinity Trails in downtown Fort Worth. Shelli and I hadn't run together since the 1/2 we did in Phoenix and with perfect weather we headed out around 9AM. I had my handy dandy Nike+ and we had no idea of our pace or time until we finished...the fabulous news...ran 6 miles in 52 something...our pace was 8:41 - Shelli was such a trooper and responded with..."no wonder I'm dead". Way to Go Shelli!
My Sunday run was with Kristine. Kristine and I met in January 07 @ our running clubs Bold in the Cold 15K. She was a newbie runner at the time...now...she is a Boston Qualifier! I really enjoy my runs with Kristine because she is fast and because she can talk almost as much as I can so there is never a lull in conversation. Since it had been so long since we've been able to run together we had tons to catch up on. We ONLY did 6 (she did 20 on Saturday @ 8:40 pace) - the wind kicked our butt and we averaged a 9 minute pace.
My lesson for this weekend...thank god for running friends!
