- my strategically placed bandage stayed in place in spite of extreme sweat
- we finished
It was a hot and humid morning, and my running partner Nicole was really feeling it. We let Mary go on ahead with some faster runners and I slowed up to stay with Nicole. She realized about halfway in that she hadn't taken her thyroid meds this morning, and she felt so bad that she was slowing me up...but I just kept reminding her that it didn't matter if we were fast today, it only mattered that we finish. So we averaged about 18 minutes/mile (my target is 15, hers is 15:30).
I've been averaging 14 minute miles on my short runs during the week, so I don't think our slower long runs are a problem. I know when we get to race day that I'll be able to keep a pace that'll allow me to finish without getting swept off the course.
On an entirely different subject...won't get results of biopsy until late in the week. Keep your fingers crossed for me, please!
Next Sunday we run 10, can't wait!
