Great 5 mile run with Shan in the 'hood. We ran from my house down Duval, left on Dull Knife, (Sam had already left for work) down Thunder Creek to the 183, back up Duval, left on Aspendale, right on Eton, left on Amherst and then back home for a 52:57 finish.
I think a big key to some of our Thursday morning runs being better lately is the easy 1 mile run/ walk with Ellie (I'm always so happy to hear about her whining for me the whole time I'm gone after I drop her off) for a good warmup!
So, this morning was good for several reasons. This morning I maintained basically the same pace as the 10k a few weeks ago but was able to carry my part of the conversation. Another was that I felt like my run this morning actually had a purpose. Even though my race is 255 days away I'm trying to be keep myself focused on remembering that EVERY run is a brick in the wall of my success. We only had one short walk break, about halfway up Aspendale which was another minor break through!!
For future posts I'll refer to this route as Sam's route since it goes right in front of his house and we're great pals too....
