Personal:

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Preston ran my regular 8 mile route with me today. It was a good run and we averaged about the same pace as I usually run, only staring out much slower and steadily increasing the speed. It seemed harder than running a more consistent pace, but it felt good to change the routine too. I think I set a new pr for mile 6 going up Farwest hill.

I ran with Preston again today. This was a medium run day for me and he was going 20+ so we kept the pace a little slower than usual. I'll admit it felt good to slow down a little bit, but I was still antsy toward the end and picked up the pace once we separated. Normally Preston is pulling me along like an anchor. Either way, it is so nice to have someone to run with.
