"Sometimes the moments that challenge us the most, define us." The first line from the documentary Spirit of the Marathon; powerful and true. I think this applies well for the week. The C25K met today at LB. Andrea ate her Wheaties (as Kelly would say) and was running super fast. Jenn had a hard time keeping the pace so we hung back and ran together. It was a challenging run for her. Those are the best runs; they show you what your made of. I firmly believe that the body changes and adapts when pushed past the point when your left brain screams stop and your motivation moves you forward.
Arriving at the lake early gave me the opportunity to run a mile before everyone showed up. I ran 1.06 miles in about 10 minutes. My pace was 9:55. We ran the C25K regimen for 1.33 miles. Andrea and Jason ran another .65 miles and Jason continued with me for about another half mile after that. I ran two more miles afterwards in 24 minutes, for a total of 5.5 miles.
I'm truly and completely addicted to running. I feel like a runner today, like a real runner. I ran today until my legs were tired. It took 5.5 miles. I could have pushed for more but I'm running tomorrow and didn't want to ware myself out.
