I woke up early today! I met up with my Tuesday morning running friends, Alyssa and Lisa, and we were off and running by 5:45am. It was early! But it actually worked out perfect because I needed to get home a little earlier and still wanted to run 8 miles.
It is so nice running with these girls! They talk and talk and it makes the miles fly by. I try to chime in too but am not the best at telling stories while running.
Our pace was steady for the first 5 miles. Ranging between 8:00-8:30 min/mile. Then I thought I needed to slow down for a bit. I ran the next 2 miles a little slower but was able to pick up the pace again for the last mile. I am glad when I am able to pick up the pace at the end of my runs. Now I just need to do this in races:)
My legs felt heavy while running today. Tonight they feel even more tired. I am glad this week is a taper week. Only 12 miles for my long run this weekend. (I can't believe I am now saying ONLY 12 miles)
I am so thankful that I am able to run! I hope I never lose my passion for running or the ability to run!
Happy Running!
