Still here. I've had good luck lately in finding running partners who LOVE to run. Been running even more. Between the six of them, someone always wants to go.
Today I took a day off and lifted weights for 50 minutes, following a circuit workout.
I did run in a race on Fourth of July, the Freedom 5K in Salt Lake City. My first race since March 2010 (and that was trail run so it doens't really count). I felt out of racing shape. We--my husband, brother and I--averaged under 7:30 for the first mile. I know because I asked and was told we were doing a 7:17 pace. I wonder if I was pushing a 9 minute mile pace by the end. 24:19 was my time.
I'd love to race more, but I always think of something else I'd rather spend my money on like swimming lessons for my son or a tank of gas to go see family.
Maybe I'll do the Ziegist Half in November. Maybe. It's $45. Oh money. |
