I don't know what happened, but this morning's run was super fast! It was nice and cool out, but I was definitely a bit tired. Michael and I started out in the almost complete darkness feeling ok. He had some shin splints, and I was just a little sore from weight training. About 0.7 miles in, Michael asked how fast we were going. I looked down and see that we're racing at a 9:18/mile pace! Holy moley! I was really impressed with both of us.
I went ahead and did a 4-mile run down to the river and then back up through Northern Liberties. It was a new route for me kind of combining two of my usual routes, and it helped keep me interested. It's easy to get bored seeing the same things. I felt great and had an average pace of 9:12/mile, which was pretty awesome!
When I got back, Michael reported that he ran most of the way home, and he seemed totally energized. I am so happy he's running with me. He's the best motivation in the world, and I'm so impressed with him for getting out there.
Hopefully my run got me focused enough for my first Italian quiz tonight!
