*yes we can
Knocked off that 5k (3 mile) run last night (rather) quickly... I mean, 31:30 not so bad. Not my fastest but then again my fastest has always been on a treadmill where I can set the pace that I then have to keep - outside on my own? not so easy...
a big thanks to the fitblr universe... I posted just as I was leaving work that I was going to run (but really didn't want to - walking up one set of stairs yesterday and I could feel my tired legs)... anyway. Got home, was sitting on the sofa checking out the route from my friends place and checked tumblr again... now note I was super close to texting my friend and asking if we could skip the run (and she was so hungry she probably would have agreed) but then I saw this:
and the words from easyrunner stuck with me... just get it done! And we did. There was a calm kind of rain - a (slightly) different route - random conversation - and sprinting in circles for the last 700m*... all kinds of silly fun. And then it was over... my friend and I got creative in her kitchen afterwards and had an awesome salad (spicy and sweet pecans ftw) and coconut breaded turkey breast... turned out quite well. And as she said - we make quite a team. Yay for a great (and unexpected) tuesday evening.
*she is faster than me and we always typically do some sprint pieces at the end of our runs - we were near olympic village and there is both a bridge to walk over or a path around (approx. 200m loop) and so I said, laps... that way she could run her speed (fast) and I could run mine (not so fast - avoiding saying slow)... it worked!
Thanks Kimberley!!
