My easy weekend long run group ended up starting at the same place and time as the weekend long distance tempoers. They do an out and back, fast out, and super fast back. So we ended up hanging onto their pace for most of our run, and got out in like 35 minutes, and back in 37 (it is like .1 longer on the way back, and uphill, so we did great!). I'm pretty sore from the combination of this run and the mile yesterday. 

And all of my shoes smell from all of the rain we have been getting lately. Gross.

Thursday 5k tempo run. I felt pretty tired, but I think it was my second fastest time so maybe that is why. I am pretty sore today. I have been having too many negative thoughts go through my head while I run. And every time I run I think about how I am never running again. Then when I am finished I forget how miserable I was and put myself through it again. I don't know why I am feeling so "miserable" when I run but I need to get over it. I have on and off days with feeling good, but even if my body feels good I sometimes don't enjoy it. I think it's because I run all my workouts kind of hard, since they are all group workouts. But isn't that the point?
