Another set of broken up miles.  I went with two girls that live on my street for five miles on the base.  They complained the whole time, kept commenting on how fast I was going (9 mm), and told me they hated looking at the back of me the the whole time because I was dragging them.  SERIOUSLY?  Where are the die hards that don't sit and complain?  We were hardly moving.  Anyway, people here are just not the same as back home.  I need a RAD clone!

7 miles on the TM at the gym later.  Did a little speed work, not enough to call it speed work.  

How is it back home it is easy to get 50 miles in per week?  Here, I barely pull 40 and it's like pulling teeth.

:( sorry Becca. Bad company is sometimes worse than none. Just explain to them the Rools of running (read BS Rools - Brent's blog on the side) tell them that is why you were running so fast :) I think it is just a different purpose for them. Here, we have a great group of runners that likes to run somewhat competitvely. Not with each other, but with ourselves. We are constantly wanting to improve and push ourselves. Sounds like those ladies are a little more conservative and just want to relax and run for fun. You need to find those competitve people!

I would love a RAD clone up in Davis County, too!! Too bad we don't all live closer together, I would really love some company, too. Way to get the miles in anyway. Keep it up! :) I think I may have asked you this at the lunch, but remind me, what are your racing plans?
