Today, Casey, Theresa, Emilie and I ran the Bruegger's Bagel Run under sunny skies and a refreshing breeze. It was a beautiful morning for a run, if a tad bit hot. Nothing, however, makes you realize just how far you have to go in your training like being passed by a bunch of elite runners coming down the home stretch when you're under the 1 mile mark (of a 5k) huffing and puffing and turning bright red... except for watching your friends' ponytails bobbing off in the distance before the first half. Regardless, it was a great morning, and as Casey has pointed out to me at least 12 times today, I shaved a good 2-3 minutes off my time for this race two years ago - which isn't half bad. I powered out with a burst of speed at the final few meters that I never knew I had... allegedly mowing down a 300 year old man (who was pretty pissed off) as I stumbled across the finish line. Now, if only I would get my butt out to those damn group runs that she keeps reminding me about...~RSF
