And today, I tried to do just that. When my alarm went off at 4:50, I promptly hit snooze. 4:59 rolled around and the last thing I wanted to do was get up and walk out the door - but something hit me that said I needed to run for people who couldn't.
Today's group was really small - only 3 of us - and I was worried that I had missed an email cancelling, considering I was the only one out there until 5:30 on the dot. Thankfully, Coach Al rolled in just after two other people I didn't know and we got to work - a lap set of 4-3-2-1 (mile, .75, .5, .25, respectively), at which goal was to increase pace through each lap set. Woof.
And here you have it:
You can ignore those two little lap mess-ups. :) |

PS. Also make sure you share your #runforboston miles - now it's up to 600+ runners, 1000s of miles!
It's going to be a little while before everything returns to normal. But it will. As runners, we naturally gravitate towards the very thing that someone tried to crush - racing. No single act will ever stop us from doing what we love.
ReplyDeleteI agree. And you know... I FEEL normal when I run. It's when I'm sitting, staring at photos on the internet, or watching videos (like the Bruins clip from last night) is when I DON'T feel normal. <3
