Last night Olivia texted me and asked if I wanted to run 11 miles, I said heck yeah! So it was me, Olivia, Clara, Ellie, and Lindsey. We did Shriner's to memory grove then took 200 E to 900 S to Liberty Park. Clara got picked up at the bottom of memory grove because she had a work call, and from there we started to spread out. Lindsey and I gapped Ellie and Olivia a bit but we regrouped at Liberty. Our original plan was to call someone to come pick us up at 11 miles, but it was shorter than expected and we decided to run the full way back, which included the dreaded 1300 S hill. 1300 S is where we got separated again, Ellie and I this time leading. We completely lost sight of Olivia and Lindsey so we just went to finish, then found out that they had gotten ahold of Lindsey's roommate and were picked up :) lol
To be completely honest, I have to slow down to run with them, but I like doing so. I miss running with friends :) At the end I found slowing down though was harder than going a normal pace. I kind of felt bad for not keeping the group together, but I still stayed with whoever came with me, whether that was Ellie or Lindsey.
I registered for the St. George marathon! Do any experienced marathoners have tips for training? This will be my first time running one. I have just over 2 months to train.
