I've been doing long-run training solo since I moved to Pensacola. Hubby paces me for the first mile or two, then speeds off into the distance.
It was a delicious change of pace to have company for my miles yesterday. Not only did my friend, C, pace me for nearly 2.5 hours, she also provided some post-run treats.

When I got back to my hotel, I had just enough energy left to take a shower and call for a plate of room service risotto... Room service can feel like a total cop-out when I'm surrounded by both great restaurants and plenty of friends to dine with, but the run wore me out (in a good way) and I did dine with friends first... We feasted on cupcakes served from a sidewalk cafe!
I am one happy runner.
What's your post-run food of choice?
Do you train solo or with a group?
Glad you had fun, sorry I wasn't there to hang out with you! :)
ReplyDeleteHave I told you how much I enjoy your blog? After reading about priorities, I really have upped my exercise schedule (specially now that I took the Summer off from school). I am back running, but still trying to get back in the motion before starting long runs heading for the half marathon in November... Sandra
ReplyDeleteI don't think there could be a better combo! Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteI run with friends 3x/week and really love it. I also like my solo time, though, which is why I keep a mixture in there.
Sounds like the surprise trip to San Diego turned out very well indeed- delighted to hear it! :) x
