PM: 5 mile lunchtime run in the rain. :) 9:23 pace. Felt great. I feel ok running slow with friends. I just am bad at running slow by myself and anything under ~8:30 pace feels like a forced effort.
Humbling to go from being a decent runner to barely hanging on for 30 min jogs. It completely sucks but it's so good for me and I know I'll appreciate my talent and take better care of my body if I'm ever able to get back at it. In the meantime I'm enjoying helping others and finding new hobbies. It's been so good for me to try things I completely suck at (yoga, spin, biking, weights, golfing, crafting!, kayaking, sleeping, sitting still, watching movies.) It's good for me and I'm learning patience along the way.
