A new 5k training group started tonight. 10 weeks until their 5k! We ran 1 mile at an 11 min pace. It was so hot out, that I was sweating at that pace. Then when we were done I ran 1 mile faster on my own at a 9ish pace. My legs felt dead.
I love helping with these groups. It is very rewarding. I know that my own running suffers when I'm caught up in helping them, but I really do enjoy it.
Oh yea... I was late to the run (missed stretching). I am dog sitting this week and I locked myself out of the people's house! I was stuck outside in the brutal heat while the dogs were looking at me through the window enjoying the ac. I was sooooo mad. All because I was trying to water their stupid tomato plants that I told her I would probably kill anyways because I have a black thumb! Anyways, I finally got in by scaling the house to a balcony on the second story. The door happened to be unlocked and I was sooooooo happy! I was so stressed... literally in tears because I absolutely refused to pay for a locksmith to come out!
Then it was back home to study for finals after my run. One more week. One more week. One more week. Then I have a break of about 10 days before fall semester starts back. Wahoo! |
