Run # 1 -
This was a gym run on Thursday. I did a good 3 miles on the treadmill. I felt really good, and energized doing this. I did not get too speedy, I wanted an even pace, and feel I accomplished that.
Run # 2 -
Yesterday Mark and I ran 8 miles. This was a crucial run for Mark for his 1/2 marathon coming up. He had not run much lately, and his longest had been 6 miles.
It was a bright sunny day in the low 60s. We headed out, and made sure to go at a slow pace. I told Mark speed was not going to get us through the 8 miles. We ran to the river, and went through a park or two. Lots of people out enjoying the day.
Typically Mark has his iPod on, and I run without. This way I can keep a better eye on where we are going, and can get him to turn, walk, slow down, whatever. The run was a success. There were a couple times Mark sped ahead, but I reeled him back in.
Mark will finish the half marathon in May. I will be there along side. It may not be the race I would run, but it will be the race he runs, and I am supporting him on this.
I am very proud of Mark. His running may not be consistent, but he does fine, and he is accomplishing some goals with this running. Very good.
Running will be interesting this week. I will be in Florida visiting family, and there is a chance of rain everyday. We will see what I can do.
