Got up early this morning for a really nice run! I ran with my friend this morning and she is faster than me so she pushed me. That is the fastest I have been in a long time! It felt really good!

There is a half marathon in Highland the middle of Oct. that we are planning on running. There is a part of me though that really enjoys running by myself. I don't have to worry about anyone. We are pretty equal in our running abilities so I don't think it will be an issue. She doesn't care if we split up either. I am hoping we will be able to push each other to go faster. We have the potential to run a really good race.

LOVE fall running. You can't beat this beautiful weather!

Train together, race apart!! That is my philosophy!!! If you run the race for fun, it is all good to go together, but if you want to see what you are capable of you need to be on your own. It is amazing just how much the act of TALKING can slow you down (I would know, I never shut up!)

Great job today and good luck with the training!

ditto to Kelli's comment! I notice a significant difference in pace when I'm trying to talk as I run v. racing and pushing myself. So, it all comes down to your goal for the race.

Great job on the miles and pushing the pace, especially since it felt good. Oh, and yes I could beat this weather...with a little WARMTH! I hate cold :(

YAY! So HAPPY you had a *friend run*! It is good to have someone to help push each other to a good race. I wish there was someone who runs my pace or faster that would run races with me. It is really rare to have that relationship. GOOD FOR YOU TWO!

What half marathon is this in Highland?

Double ditto on Kelli's comment. I get way to competitive when it comes to racing. My girlies keep seeing your beautiful 2nd grader at lunch and think they are so cool!
