My Run This Morning

I met up with Rachelle and Julia this morning. We started off together for the 1st couple of miles and then Julia took a shorter loop. (She is tapering for her 50k, 30 mile race this Saturday… Crazy… :)) Rachelle and I ran an 8 mile loop in 1:02.14 (about a 7:30 pace). She did a Fartlek (1 min on 1 min off) and came back to me after the minute fast. I noticed that my pace would pick up every time she took off, so I did a mini speed workout. I was feeling it, even though it was not that fast. 🙂 Oh what the marathon does to me… It was a good run though and I am glad I got up to go. With it being so dark and cold, I have been struggling. 🙂
