Day 16

I waited until tonight to get in my run. I wanted to give my glutes just a little bit longer to recoup. I ran with my sister-in-law again and she was much nicer to me. She is a much better runner than I am, but she is kind enough to run with me anyway.

Here's my secret to running with someone who is better shape than myself; ask them a long-answer question. I use this often, as I usually run with people who are faster than me.

Tonight's question: What is your love story? How did you end up marrying my brother?... It was great. I learned a lot, and I got to listen rather than try to speak in between wheezes. I highly recommend it.

Today's Stats:

Distance: 3 miles

Time: 33 minutes

Pace: 11 minute/mile

It felt pretty good. At about 1.5 miles my knee and hip started to hurt a little bit. I thought about walking, but I didn't want my sister-in-law to think I was a wimp, so I kept going. I'm glad I stuck it out. There's something about running what I set out to do, even when it hurts.
