I'm finishing up my school this week and the schedule is a bit tight. I had pretty much written off running or biking this week. However we got out of class today about an hour early and headed down to the beach for a run. I'm here with a business partner and he wanted to do a 5 mile run. So I'm thinking that is a great idea, I'll run with you. He runs at about an 8 minute pace so I was looking forward to an easy relaxing run. Well after about one mile I just couldn't hold back any longer. So with the remaining time I decided to do an improvised crossfit endurance run. Instead of time I just used the remaining distance. 1.5 miles at best possible pace to the 2.5 mile turn around point. I didn't time the 1.5 mile run but my GPS watch showed 6:15 pace for most of the run. Once Austin caught up to me, resting at the 2.5 turn around, I ran 1 mile with him again and then took off again with 1.5 miles to go. On this leg I was able to maintain 6:30 for most of the run. So I'm happy to report that I was able to get a nice run in this afternoon. Which was complete unexpected.
I'm heading back to Virginia Beach tomorrow afternoon. I'm really looking forward to getting home and seeing "all" my girls.
Have a good day!
