Bloggers make good friends

by SkinnyRunner on June 22, 2011

WORKOUT – Ran outside 16.6 miles/2:10 (total)  few small hills, no music

Walked 1.5 miles miles

Walked the dog 2 miles

This morning I ran with Pam and TheFasterBunny at Back Bay in Newport.

Pam and I ran a quick 2 miles in 15ish minutes and then met up with Margot at 6:30am.

(Thanks to Margot for being so thoughtful to “not make my blog boring” and do a good pose Smile)

We did 8.5 miles together to bring the total to 10.5/1:22 and then we walked a 1.5 mile cooldown.

If you want fun running partners, I’d suggest these gals but then you’d steal my friends so go find your own!

After saying goodbye to them, I did 6 more on my own to bring the total to 16.6 miles in 2:10 for the day.  I’m definitely happy with that since it’s the farthest I’ve ran since I’ve been home.  Running with friends is where it’s at. fosho.

Running with friends is definitely my preferred way to run.

Do most of your running buddies run the same pace as you? I feel like I either get frustrated that others are faster and I can’t keep up or I find it hard to slow to another person’s pace when running with others. I wish I could like it b/c it would make the time pass quicker on a run!

I’m always so impressed with your mileage, have you ever had an injury?

Reply

SkinnyRunner June 22, 2011 at 11:44 am

yes back in 2009 when i was training for my first marathon, i had a hamstring tear and piriformis syndrome in my hip/butt. i ended up taking 4 months off from running, got professionally fitted for shoes and started icing and stretching daily. works wonders.

I love that I’ve finally found friends to run with! They are the best. Also, traveling and finding bloggers to run with is awesome.

OK, I am in love with the “punch running in the face” shirt b/c it so is my attitude! I love when I’m done and feel accomplished but during the run I am thinking how much I don’t like it! I suppose it’s too much to hope for that you have more of those lying around?

I love running with friends. You guys are speedy! Glad you have some super fast runners to keep you company, because I sure as heck could never go that fast. :)

Reply

Kelocity June 22, 2011 at 12:17 pm

Actually, I have a question for you. When you run, do you FEEL like you’re going as fast as you do? Do the trees wisp past in a giant blur? haha I just can’t imagine what it feels like!

Reply

SkinnyRunner June 22, 2011 at 12:25 pm

ha, no most of the time i feel like im dying.

Margot @fasterbunny June 22, 2011 at 12:36 pm

hahaha. Sometime I wonder what it must feel like for Ryan Hall to run. Probably like he’s superman and flying.

Lesley @ Racing It Off June 22, 2011 at 12:31 pm

Running with friends…. rocks! I’ve always considered myself a “social” runner… and even when I reserve a race for “me”, I try to convince someone faster to help me PR.

Thanks for the shout-out!!! And really thank you for your input… I’ll be making your version of that… STAT!

Tonight my family and I are all racing in a 5k together. Although I cannot run with them everyday or even every week, I love having the companionship.

I like running with friends but only if we are at the same athletic level.

Reply

Amy June 24, 2011 at 7:53 am

Just curious…when you run with a camera are you just holding it? Or do you have a belt storage thing you hold it in?

Thanks :)
