VA loop to Guardsman then did Shriners run. Then a lap in the cemetery and back to the school. I hung on until we got to the U campus, by then I felt like they were speeding up. My breathing felt off. I backed off to my "comfort zone" as Bill calls it. I need to find my garmin so that I get a feel for what pace that actually is. Anyway, I wasn't in a good mood today and on the run I wondered how in the world I thought I could break 5 in the mile if I can't even keep up with my teammates and am the last one back every day. As if Bill knew what I was thinking somehow, he and Eleanor ran back along 13th and met me and ran back. He talked to us about our goals and stuff and then how he felt like he could get me to a 5 minute mile, but I'd have to work hard, and told me a lot of other stuff to be doing outside of running. This is why I have the greatest coach in the world. Thanks Bill!
