| It didn't hurt that we were running along the amazing cliff walk |
I've been in a bit of a running funk this year. I think it's because I run by myself in the very early morning. Not so fun.
Running with my college friends totally reminded me why I became a runner in the first place. When I started college, I could only run for about 20 minutes, and I just did it for the exercise. But within just a couple weeks I was running for an hour or more because it was so fun! I'd get talking with these girls and the miles just flew by.
This weekend was the same. I had worried about running with them because I'm not in the shape I was in college. But it was so fun. So fun. For the first time in awhile running felt easy. I didn't notice the time at all. I finished feeling elated.

Portland Maine area runners, where are you?
Aww, what a wonderful time! I used to have a training partner like that, and she moved, and it's mostly solo miles for me. The miles with friends can go A LOT faster! I bet you could find some local runners... if you want :)
ReplyDeleteIt makes such a difference! It just seems like so much work to find a new buddy who has a schedule and pace that matches mine...... but I know it would be worth it in the long run.
