AM: 20.5 miles, most with Elia pacing him on the St. Pete marathon. I can't really call them fast, but about 10 were in the 6:40-6:50 range. Really liked trying to help him, even though I failed overall.
Hit my 5 year anniversary on this blog, which is kind of cool. Amazing to think I wasn't even running anything over 5 miles really back then, and now a 5-mile day feels like a recovery. I still remember bringing a gel on my first "long run" with Drew thinking it was needed. Heh. I must say I'm happy to have developed this habit of posting on here, although I'm not sure it will continue much longer. I definitely appreciate how I went from a hobby walk-out-the-door-and-run-whatever-distance to.... Well, actually, I'm pretty much still that way. At least now I've found some consistency in my workouts, mileage, and effort. I just never vibed with the "running plan" thing. The moment it's written down what I have to do, I just have lost all interest within the next moment. Weird. Cheers to winging it!
