First double digit run since early March. Ran 2 minutes, walked 1 minute. Only intended for ten miles, but was feeling good and did 13 total. Endurance improved again this week.

I'm glad you had a wonderful 13 miles!! I missed you at the RHPC's today. I was honestly hoping you'd come and be able to run with me and my sister.
Things just keep looking up for you!! Nice work.

Rachel,
There doesn't seem any point in going to group runs and then running alone because everyone is so much faster. It seems a waste of time to have to drive that far just to run alone like I always do.
I hope you had a good time.

I was running with my sister at about an 11:30ish pace. So, I was looking forward to running WITH you...see? Really WITH you! It would've been a nice relaxing pace for you :)
However, I do understand about the drive vs. company factor. I had to convince someone to run extra so I had company after my sister left me, or I would've been alone the majority of the time and that was depressing for me. I just like to see my 'regulars' at the race, even if it is just for some chow afterward.
