I had an awful week at work at last week that left me feeling shattered so I ended up not doing my last 2 runs of the week. However, this morning I was reminded why I enjoy running so much. I paced a friend for the 1/2 marathon, and also ran 2 mile to/from the start and (close to the) finishing line. The pace wasn't electric, but it was great to be out there, see and hear the crowd and just soak it all up. Great stuff. Oh, and my friend was able to beat his 1/2 marathon PR by over 5 minutes and ran 1:48 and change. |
