One more milestone down
Today I ran 18 miles. Seriously... I ran 18 miles.
I couldn't have done my run today with out the motivation of Deb, the world's most awesome training partner. She agreed to go my pace and see what we could accomplish. We explored different parts of the air force base that we both agreed we would been "too chicken" to explore on our own.
The stats
18 miler- 12/14/2008
2r/2.5w interval
Overall Time- 4:41:10
15:37 average pace
163 average HR
183 max HR
11:56- Fastest Run Interval
24:08- Slowest Walk Interval (We stopped to refill out water bottles)
Today I discovered I really like running with a partner. It's really tough to find someone who is willing to go my pace and I always get really aggravated wishing I could go faster. But today I finally felt comfortable. Deb and I found out we have a bit in common and had plenty of things to talk about. It was nice to pass the time away. The first 10 miles flew by in a flash and the next 7 did drag on a bit for the both of us. But the last mile brought smiles to our faces. Thanks for the good run Deb, I really appreciate it!
Only 1 more long run to go. 20 miles here I come.
