Now that I'm done with one running journey, I'm ready to begin my next.
I've gone to a couple of impromptu workouts to meet my team and everyone of course seems super nice. I'm really excited to get to know everyone on a team again and end my era of lone wolf running. It was fun having the alone time, but it can be very lonely running for 2 hours on your own. And finding the motivation to get out there week after week, without someone else encouraging you, well, that was REALLY hard.
While I'm excited to get back to running after this week off, I also found myself in a state of panic this week for no apparent reason. It was almost like a delayed panic attack that I should have had on Saturday night, before the Pasadena Half. So there I was panicking about putting in the miles, running those distances and committing to training. I suppose it's better that this happened after, rather than before, but still weird. Especially since I did so well!
For this run, I think I'm going to focus on increasing my speed. At the Pasadena Half, I really just wanted to finish, which I did with flying colors! So now that I know my overall and split times, I can focus on going faster. I'm considering finding a 5k or 10k in the coming weeks to train for, and make myself sprint it! We'll see...the reality of my life is what it is, so I'll have to be flexible with what comes my way.
So here I go to my next adventure. San Francisco here I come!
