I went to Spin at the Y this morning--I love spin. Ray came with me yesterday morning and today--this was HUGE---1-he never works out, 2- he never ever came with me to work out, 3- he is never up on the weekend that early in the morning. I bribed him with a Starbucks (little does he know, I always treat myself to a Latte after weekend morning spin classes).
C and I had 5-6 miles planned for today, but this morning he complained about a sore throat and I had a feeling his heart was not in it; although, he kept asking me when we were leaving for our run. So.....we get all set and off we go--a neighborhood run. I started off leading--steady and one of my fastest miles in a long time--1st mile 9:07--I felt GREAT and I wanted to keep this run STRONG---and then he hit his wall--he wanted to walk-I really don't mind when this happens--I hope when my heart is not in it, he won't mind walking with me either. We cut our trail short and headed home--walking---I talked him into a run for the last .6 miles---overall 2.66 miles/30:05 min/pace 11:13--not bad for walking a mile. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/58215150

I think runners run into days like this, hence, runners understand and are able to empathize when all we want to do is just run a good 1 mile and walk the rest. I'm sure your good deed will be returned.

I caught the bug in August 2009. I had NEVER run before that. In fact, I was pretty sure that I hated running; bamboo under the fingernails was more appealing to me. That being said----I gave it a try. I started the couch 25K program (incremental running) and I was hooked. In fact, June 2011 I became certified RRCA running coach; I want to share my passion for running with everyone.I love running outside (love/hate relationship with my treadmill) and I LOVE running with friends. The more the merrier!
