PM: Pretty quick run with Anthony all around East Lake. It was great to converse with him and also to run with someone more fit than me. It makes me want to work harder, which is what I need. Progress is being made finally. My weight is much lower, my effort is up, and my slow slogs aren't ridiculous anymore.
In other news, Anthony and I talked about him breaking 16 minutes for the first time and I got him to race next Saturday with me! I don't think I have the fitness at the moment, but I can definitely pace him to an 8:00 half- which we'll see if he wants to take me up on. That won't take too much out of me to hopefully still finish around 16:30. If not, just him being there will motivate me to push more, which is awesome. My "A" goal in that case is a 16:15, but who knows what the Florida humidity/heat will do.
