Run Report

Am I doing enough? I just don't know? Am I doing all that I can? I think so. This new run group is like having a tiger by the tail! Saturday runs are totally new territory for me. In the past, I have been with really large groups of mediocre runners. This really didn't push me very much.
Now, I am in a small group of fast runners. Last weekend, we did 10 miles. I was in the middle of a pack of about eight runners. This weekend, another 10 miles. I was the last in a pack of about six runners. Crazy thing is, I passed a ton of runners from my former running group (from three years ago). This got me to thinking...basically, the conclusion I have come to is...I'd rather be the slowest of the fast group of runners, than the fastest of the slow group of runners.
I don't know if that makes sense? I do think I am getting faster I just hope it's enough to qualify for Boston...I still have a long road ahead of me:P

  2. Of course...rather be the little fish in the big pond than the other way around.

  5. Well, I'm not in your league...I'm one of the "mediocre runners"....but training for Chicago all the same. Good luck qualifying for Boston...what a fantastic goal!

    It's nice to meet you, thanks for stopping by. I'll be back!

  6. What a great decision. I'm just winded thinking about running 10 miles. I don't run.

  7. 10 miles. I would just love to be a part of a group that finished ten miles on their feet. 3 is just about right for me.
