Tonight was a good run. Thomas and I had a friend named Mauricio come and run with us. It really was quite funny. He doesn't hardly run and we had him run about two miles with us. At the halfway point his legs starting cramping up and he was just about done. Our pace was very slow so we turned into a run for time and not distance or pace. When we started back after half way he got a look of pain on his face that was funny. This poor guy looked like someone had shot him. I must admit that I laughed out loud and thought it was funny. The good thing is that he finished the run and said that he will run with us come Wednesday.
After he stopped Thomas and I continued to run the remainder of our run. We finished with about 3 1/2 miles under our belt and it took us forever. We didn't time it but we think it was around forty five minutes. Really the slower pace killed my legs just as much as a quick pace would have. So, it was a good run to get a lot of time in and we accomplished that.
I can't wait until Wednesday when Paul gets out there and I can see where the big dog is running at. I have pictured in my mind him blowing us out of the water and waiting at the end as we struggle to keep up with his pace. Or, he will be right along with us because he is out of shape as well.
Last night I was thinking that if we keep increasing out distance then we will have to start running earlier and earlier to fit our runs in before it gets dark. We will see how far this thing takes us. Thomas was talking about running a half-marathon and that would take some serious training. Maybe next year huh?
