Running With LeMire

Woke up this morning an ran 6 miles even though I wasn't feeling the greatest and thet may not have been the best idea. Got home showered up and then a major sinus headache and flare up of serious allergies occurred. I ended up staying home from work and needing to take a couple of days off of running.

Ran 6 miles this morning and at least it was 29 degrees unlike the last couple of mornings that were in the teens. Overall the run felt pretty good and my body was definitely rested from the last couple of days off. My body obviously needed it and yesterday I slept in and took a nap.

Ran with the Runner's Edge Group for the first time in a long time and was pleasently surprised by the outcome of this long run. I set out with 14 miles in mind but of course the rest of the guys were planning on running 16 miles. Therefore if I wanted to run out 7  with everyone my choice was to then run the 7 back all by myself. That would have sucked so I fell to peer presure and ran 16 with a group of 5 guys. GReat run catching up and running pretty darm fast! I had some gps issues with my watch but when we got back two of the guys had 7:21/mi total average for the 16 miles. With that being said there had to be some pretty damn fast miles since the first mile was around 9 minutes. UGH that mile sucked but it is part of the Coaches new training philosophy and non of the guys want to hurt his feelings.I would have to say this run definitely made me feel good about my endurance (marathon training) unlike the mile time trial that I completly sucked at last weekend!
