Newfound love

After a Facebook discussion with a friend, I got out with an old running buddy.  In total we were a group of FIVE!  That's pretty good for lil ole Jewell.  She's quite a bit slower than we are, but I figured it will be good just to get in some miles and chat with a friend.  I have had so many "therapy" runs the past 3-4 months that it was good to leave all that behind me and just get out and run.

I have also realized in the past couple weeks that I really need some accountability.  I need something to prepare for.  I need a race.  I have some unofficial goals in the event that we get some direction to our future, but for now I have nothing.  This was a "good old day" run today and it felt great!  I loved talking running with other people and not worrying about what was happening in my life.  I'm dying to get into a regular training routine.  I miss that.

We started out with a 12:30ish pace and after we left the big group we were on our own and finished with a 8:22 pace.  Ahhhh, I love to run.  I think I found myself again.

When we got home we did a buddy workout.  That was great!
