Thank You Mid Michigan Track Club

Today was a new adventure. I was scheduled to run 7 miles and wasn't all that fired up about doing it by-myself. Then I re-read my weekly Playmakers email and saw that the Mid Michigan Track Club had a group run scheduled for Saturday AM. All welcome, running anywhere between 3 and 15 miles. So..... I joined it. Although I didn't seem to fall in with anyone else it was nice being in the presence of others. I was faster than some and slower than others.

The other neat thing is their rout started at Potter Zoo and ran along the River Trail. I've covered most of the trail on previous runs, but there is a spur that I have never made the time to check out. Well this morning's run included the spur. What luck! It's not the most scenic part of the trail, but new mileage is new mileage!

I was only suppose to run 7 miles, but by and accident of math (translation, Tom can't run and add at the same time) I ended up running 9. It was so nice because I was wondering if I still had distance in my legs. Last week's 7 mile run was less than perfect, but I felt great today and probably could have done 13 if I needed. So much fun.

Overall I'm feeling good about my training and seem to be on pace to run a sub 2 hour Half in Miami. Woo Hoo!
