3 more miles

I have promised Megan I would run with her in a 10k in April. I run the small runs on the treadmill in the comfort of the indoors with tv and watch the weather for the "best" day each week to run the longer run outdoors. Todays weather was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! I hurried home after the wrestling match (OSU vs. Iowa), changed into my running clothes and headed over to the lake to run. My first mile was great, good pace and felt good. The start of the second mile I started thinking to myself, "maybe I should have paced myself better" by the end of the second mile I was telling myself, "there will be no walking so just suck it up" and finally my third mile and thought, "just make it to the car." By the time I made it to my car I had beaten my best time (which isn't that great) and finished the full three miles in just under 32:30. I know I am a morning runner: red bull, then run; exactly in that order. Megan I hope that when you are 30 (well 30 something) and have two kids that you still run with me cause if you don't .... well there will be hell to pay. haha
