Ouch!! That really is how I started and finished off my run today. Thomas and I ran tonight and my legs hurt. We got ambitious tonight and decided to run three miles. Actually, starting off we didn't know how long it was we just had an idea that it would be about three miles. We started off together and when we reached half way I was rethinking our distance. My legs began to hurt some more and I started tiring down. I stayed with Thomas until about half way. At that point I was fighting to finish.
Being the good friend that he is Thomas took off and left me in the dust. My fingers started to tingle and cramp up some due to me fighting to continue. At the end there is a little hill which tried to kill me and then I hit the home stretch and got my wind back and picked up my pace to a respectable pace. When I finished Thomas had been there for a bout a minute.
We then walked to his house and got in his Explorer to go and measure the course. We measured it and technically it was 2.99 miles but we are calling it three. When he dropped me off I limped to my front door due to my thighs hurting so bad. I guess that is the price you pay for greatness.
His time was 27.57, which is a minute off of his 5k that he ran on Monday. My time was 28.45 which I am happy with considering I haven't ran in about a year. I will take the next three days off due to going on a trip. I will talk again on Monday. Not like anyone cares but just in case I thought I would let you know.
