Running with Christian tonight!

It is finally Wednesday (this week seems to be going by at a snail's pace). I rested on Monday and last night we had the Dana Farber track workout. I started out aqua jogging in the pool with another DFMC runner, Jess, who injured her foot recently. Jack was letting me try on some different types of zoomers for when I am in the Caribbean. After the hard run on Sunday, I decided to do a few aqua jogging intervals in the pool with Jess and then I modified the track workout and did the second half of my workout on the track. My legs definitely feel like they worked very hard on Sunday, so I was taking it easy last night in the workout.

Wednesdays are days that I like the idea of running an 8-10 mile run but that generally turn into my regular 6.5 mile loop because of time constraints between getting home later from work than expected and having to tutor in the evening. There is also that whole lack of motivation factor... which sometimes pushes me to turn over to Comm Ave from Beacon Street a few streets too early when I am alone and the weather is not so pleasant.

Tonight I have great motivation to run a longer run though. Tonight I am going running with my good friend Christian! He is the type of runner that may not have run in three weeks, but will still be up for going out for a 10-mile run (and in all honesty sometimes I think he might actually prefer the longer distances). So, he is trekking over to Brookline tonight and I am going to bring him down Beacon to Walnut Street over to Commonwealth Ave, along the course over heartbreak hill and down into Coolidge Corner. It should be a good one!
