Running

Did my longest run since high school yesterday with Brushy. We ran at Umstead, which I've really begun to enjoy. We went for about 85 minutes, with a 2 minute stop and stretch halfway. I think Brushy expected it to be around 8 miles or so. Had to ice my achilles last night, but they feel much better today.

It definitely is easier to run with someone rather than by myself. Even though I do enjoy running alone with my iPod, it seemed to go by a lot faster yesterday with Brushy. And he keeps me going at a better rhythm and I'm sure at a better pace. Ran in new shoes yesterday and they felt soo much better. I still get a little bit of a numbing sensation in the ball of my right foot. The woman at Fleet Feet said that may be a nerve condition. But it wasn't too bad.

According to Brushy's schedule, I've got 6 miles tomorrow and then 10 on Sunday. That will definitely be an interesting one. The most I've ever run was 10 miles and that was back in high school - so about ten years ago. It would be nice to hit double digits though...
