Managed the long 11.5K run on Wednesday, swam 30 minutes on Friday (heatwave!), and will head out for 5.8K run later tonight as it cools off. Might even get to run in the rain...

As for short-term goals: running a 5K with my ell the weekend after next and hopefully overcoming my nervousness at running with someone who could be so much faster than me but chooses not to be because she wants to be with me. ♥

I just ran a race (didn't "race", just ran it) with a friend who is very very much faster than I am. She assured me that she would just run alongside me - and she did! Totally classy, and she even let me cross the finish line ahead of her.

I have had a friend visit who I'm much faster than, and who was nervous about running with me. But we went for a lovely run, and I totally didn't mind running at his much slower pace.
