Yesterday was National Running Day- a whole day devoted to one of the biggest passions in my life. I love running, for one beause it's so simply- a pair of shoes, clothes and the road is all you need. Of course sharing running with friends is great as well, both kinds of running- alone and with groups give me different perpectives and workouts. Running really has changed my life, in some awesome ways! I'm so blessed my our running group here in Columbus Marathoners in Training (MIT), I never, ever would have run a marathon without them.
So last night in celebration of National Running Day, it was the first speed workout of the season. Speed work is hard work, you always work a little (or a lot) harder than your Marathon pace. Each week is different and Jeff works so hard to mix up our workouts and give us great ones each week.
This week was mile repeats, our prescribed pace was 11:42 for the mile, but we did our first one at 10:42 (oops?) and the second one at 11:21, so faster than prescribed, maybe this means a faster marathon. We shall see! It was great to have company since some friends are trying speedwork and they run my pace! Yipee!
It was a great night for a run, much less humid.
I enjoyed my celebration of National Running Day! I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate!! Hope all my running friends had a great National Running Day as well! Looking forward to another celebration at MIT on Saturday!
Run on Friends,
Heather
