This past Saturday my heel was feeling a little better, so I decided to could do part of the GTS. I biked to and from practice, which was about a 5-6mile bike ride, did a half loop of the park, and then met up with everyone. I still haven't gotten down the ability to figure out what to wear to a cold-weather workout, since I've never really worked out in the cold.
I ran with one of my new TNT friends, Ryan, who I think probably normally runs a 7minute mile. He took it easy on me, and we were doing a 9:35minute mile for about 3/4s of a loop (so approximately 2.5 miles at that pace). I started to slow him down at the end, and told him he should 'leave me'! I always like to make it a dramatic statement like I'm being left behind with no hope, and it amuses me everytime. I've done similar things in races that I've completed with friends, because I tend to be the slower of most people I know. These days I average about a 10-10:30minute mile, though last weekend with Marilyn and I ran, we were doing a 9:30 for a good part, and my watch told me our max was a 6:30 sprint bit.
It's been a good 3 weeks so far, but I want to really ramp it up in the next month or so.
Stay healthy!
