Nice to be running with the team again

Workout: Fast Finish Long Run: 14 to 16

Holly cow! That was a quick 16 miles, at least it seemed that way.

I ran with the Playmakers Team for the first time in a couple of weeks. I was really keyed up at the start. I think partly from some nervous energy and partly because it was such a nice day. Anyway I fell in with Holly & Stacy at the beginning which was good because they were running 9:00/m which was my target pace. Unfortunately I lost both of them by mile six. That’s were I hooked up with a woman also doing 16 miles. She was running faster than I had planned but I thought I’d try to hang with her as long as possible. Anyway we spent the next 10 miles running 8:30’s or so. I’m not sure if I was pushing her or she was pushing me, but it was nice to have the company.

It was such a beautiful day and so nice to be running with the team again. I’m so excited the spring is here and that my training seems to be paying off. I feel strong and raring to go. Definitely a happy runner day.
