Faithful running partner, W, is out of town for 10 days. So, today, Bridget joined me on my long run. It was to be 8 miles and I was shooting for an 11 minute pace. Bridget was to run the first 5 and then drop away.
Mile 1: 10:59 - perfect
Mile 2: 10:44
Mile 3: 10:58
Both mile 2 and 3 included a pretty steep hill. In fact, last week, our mile 3 was our slowest at 11:26.
Mile 4: 10:53
Mile 5: 10:47
Mile 6: 10:42
Mile 7: 11:10
Mile 8: 11:02
Bridget ended up doing 7 and keeping it real strong all the way through.
Average pace: 10:55
Running is a big question mark that’s there each and every day. It asks you, ‘Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?' - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian

It was painful, but good. That sounds kind of sick, but isn't that what running is?
I'm going to miss you crazy kids for the next few weeks!
Have just found your blog - such a similar title to mine. We have two whippets who live on the couch with us, I imagine greyhounds would take up a ton more space.
