As nice as it's been to have Jenn and Tom to work out with I was extremely excited on Friday night to run with some of the guys I used to work out with before all my issues. Even though they're all 10k-5k guys and most of the work out was quick for them, but right in my comfort zone, it was still great to mix it up with guys and run a quality workout. I'm not going to get into too many specifics but I ran a few 440s in 63 to end the workout so it was definitely nice to go fast again.
We'll see how I continue to progress as I get into better and better shape. Although I'm still having a tougher go with the strength workouts, I'm hoping that will change as I continue to add a few miles a week and keep working hard. Today was my first long run that was higher mileage than most of my workout days have been so as that gets longer, I should definitely be getting stronger.
I'm officially running the 3k at Terrier in 2 weeks. This will be my first race since last June so I'm not exactly expecting huge things. I do intend to go out and run hard and really see where my fitness is. I have 2 more weeks to get ready for it both physically and mentally. I'm both excited and nervous for it. It should be fun.
