Letsrun didn't win me over

Yesterday I emailed a friend about joining her on the track this morning. In her response she seemed glad to have an offer of company out there. And then this morning rolled around and I just couldn't do it. It just doesn't seem smart to do workouts and up mileage at the same time. So I flaked on her. I did do a run-by of the track to let her know. She had already gotten started. She is hard core.

I think she's where I was about seven years ago. She's just finding out what she can do with her running. That's such an exciting phase. I'm jealous of her.

So no workouts. But other than the mid-week longer runs, all runs this week have been finished off with strides. Yay strides. And a dip in the pool. Yay pool.

At one point this morning I caught up with a group of friends. They were running a miserable pace for me, though: not comfortable and not tempo, either. Just this awkward middle ground that I despise. So I let them go and finished comfortably on my own. So sad to be too slow for your friends! Hopefully I won't be too slow for too much longer ...
