I drove to Lincoln yesterday morning to run in the State Farm 10 Mile Run with my good friend, Michelle. Michelle and I were roommates and teammates in Wayne. I haven't seen her in almost a year, and it was fun to be able to run with her! She is training for the Lincoln Half Marathon and will hopefully run it with Jess and Sarah while I run the full. I wasn't looking to set a PR, but to simply run with and enjoy catching up on life with Michelle. Michelle, on the other hand, set a HUGE PR! She beat her last year's time by over 5 minutes! Our official time was 1:31:41 which is a 9:04 minute per mile pace. We were running the first 3 miles at an 8:30 or better pace, and I asked her if she wanted to slow down and she said, "I'm fine"...love it! We ran the first 5 in an under 9 minute per mile pace and then slowed down just a bit after that. This was run from the State Farm building in Lincoln and then over to the Mopac Trail. It was a 5 mile out and back route. I rolled my ankle 1/2 mile into the run and its a little sore today, but not too bad.
Running is so much better when you have someone to do it with!
