It's All About The Ride


Driving to the group run was so much sweeter this morning. Who wouldn't love driving as the sun rises in this sweet of a car? Chad played in a charity golf tournament and bid on a weekend drive in a Mercedes convertible. He won! It has been a blast driving this car around.
I really had a battle of the mind this week. On Thursday I went to the group run and ran with the 5:1 half group. It was a good run. I didn't break any landspeed records but I finished strong and felt like I could still go a bit further. While we were doing the core workout, we discussed training with the full 3:1 group. I have really put a lot of thought into the whole process. Should I put more mileage in at a slower pace or less mileage in at a faster pace? I was pretty confused. I thought I had it all figured out. I was going to stay the course and train with the 5:1 half group. Fast forward to this morning... I pull up to the park in my hot little car, wind blowing in my hair, music blaring, spirits soaring and mind prepared to run two miles. I look up and see my girls getting ready to take off with the full group who was going to run FOUR miles. I was so not prepared to run four miles. Long story short I did it and survived. As a matter of fact, I think I could've probably gone another mile. I am so amazed with what I have pushed myself to do. Go me!
