After taking 2 weeks off, I'm back to running. I was very afraid of going to class last night because I didn't think I'd be able to keep up with the group. I exceeded expectations and had the best run this season. We did the 4 mile loop last night in near perfect weather conditions. I ran it in 40:15 seconds. That is fast for me. It's almost 10 minute pace.
You know what else, at the end of the run, several people started to pass me. One woman passed me and said, "Good run." I said the same to her, but then it bugged me. "I'll show you a good run," I thought to myself. I put the hammer down and passed everyone of those people who passed me. I sprinted the last 200 or 300 yards in to the finish with a sense of pride. Yes, I kicked ass last night. I will kick ass again tomorrow night.
