After two weekends in a row of VERY rainy weather on the day I was set to complete my long run, I was so happy and relieved that the weather was absolutely gorgeous in Indianapolis this weekend.
I woke up yesterday morning with determination to finally get my milage into the double digits AND to do it around my goal pace of 8 minutes per mile.
Guess what…
I did it and I couldn’t be happier!
While I did complete 10 miles with an 8:08 pace, I didn’t do it alone.
A great friend, and one of Brian’s groomsmen ran the 10 miles with me. Â It was so helpful to have someone to talk with, someone to push me out of my comfort zone, and someone to keep me company. Â It’s crazy how running WITH someone can be just the motivation needed to get it done!
After the 10 mile run, I honestly felt great, and while my legs are a bit sore today that is to be expected.
13 miles…here we come!

Ah Thanks Sammy!!! 🙂
Way to go girl! It’s so crazy how having someone can help you so much–I ran my first half with my boyfriend’s mom and she was SO helpful. I couldn’t have done it without her!
Thanks, Claire! I think having company on a run even beats music!!
Congrats on getting through the ten miles! I totally agree, running WITH someone is a game changer. I hate running alone!
Running alone can be therapeutic, but when I am trying to reach a goal…I need someone with me!
