I agreed to run with Kevin today because I had mentally scheduled a runday, we haven't run together in a long time, and because he told me that he was injured, so we wouldn't be able to go very far or very fast. He said we would probably have to walk the hills. Mind I ran two days ago on Friday, but that was the first time in months (I would rather have said weeks, but months is accurate).
I have made no plans whatsoevr regarding how I needed to train to get back in shape, how many weeks it might take, or how far I should go so that I wouldn't burn out or suffer a major injury. So when we started out today, I had no idea how far we would go. But once we started, everything went OK. I was a little more out of breath than Kevin, and I know that he slowed down to accomodate me. We weren't fast, but I remembered how much fun it was to run together, how Kevin and I are able to keep a conversation going for the whole run, and I remembered what it felt like to actually run. It felt great. The weather was perfect.
We ran (with walk breaks on the hills) about 7.25 miles--Kevin had his Garmin. I would never have started out to run 7.25 miles on my own; I didn't think I was up to that distance yet. But we ran on dirt trails--easy on the legs--and we went slow, and we walked a bit; still, if I can do 7.25 miles now (BTW, I will be sore in the morning), maybe it won't take me as long to get back as I thought. That is the value of running with a friend: if the friend is willing to go at your pace, you can do a lot more than you would have done on your own.
