Running and running and running and running and

I have been running in the morning with a group from my neighborhood. We meet at 7am. There is all sorts of levels, some walk, some run/walk, others RUN. I am somewhere in the middle of running and RUNNING. That word gets more and more funny the more I type it. Running. Running. (giggle.)

Anyway, I am training for another sprint tri, and want to do better this time. I was having a hard time getting myself motivated to train until this running group. I love it! I try to keep up with the RUNNERS, but even when I have to slow down, I still keep them in sight and it pushes me to go harder longer than I ever do on my own. This morning I ran about 4 miles, which is really good for me.

I typically hate getting up early, but knowing that there will be people there helps me get up out of bed to go. Once I am up, I love it, and I feel good all day.

So I think I will be better prepared for the running part of the tri, now I just need to work on the bike and swim!

Dang it, I woke up a little later and didn't make the run, but I thought I would see SOMEBODY out there at 7:15 and never did see anyone. Hopefully better luck next week:)

Such a great idea (The running, walking and RUNNING group)... Keep running!

running....there is one of my jealousies, you will only see me walking. I was going to join today but I woke up at six and couldn't go back to sleep so I set out early. I am planning on being out tomorrow.

I hate the mornings too, but it is great to meet other people, a little extra motivating!
