I had some more good runs last week all at night. Thursday night KB and I ran together with the dangling carrot of getting dinner afterward. We both had tired legs on the run, but completely enjoyed it. We ran around 8 miles, showered, and then walked to go get dinner - what a perfectly lovely way to end a day.
Saturday, I made it out to the Al's ship of fools run again thanks to Gretch's help in making sure I got there in time. I'm not the best at group runs, because I have trouble falling into a pace that is good for me and usually just pick up the fastest persons pace from the get go. That is what happened Saturday and by mile 4 or so, I realized I could not hold the pace for the whole distance and that I better turn the dial down a notch in order to keep on keepin' on. I completed the 10 mile loop Al's was doing and knew I had five more to go, at this point, I was not feeling my best, but Gretch encouraged me to continue you on and got me to go the extra bit.
After Saturday's less than stellar run, I was feeling trepidacious about heading out again. It is just not as fun to run on tired legs. I knew Sunday's run was supposed to be five miles so not as far and I took it as a nice Sunday jog. I started out from my friend's house right on LBL where they were BBQing and headed to the trail. My legs felt good, not top-notch, but definitely good and the weather a bit cooler than the previous morning so I was able to kick it up a bit and all in all it was a really reassuring jaunt for me. The best part was ending at the BBQ and having good food and company post-run.
