Today was a 17-miler kind of morning. I tried a new style, the John Galloway. You run for four minutes and walk for one. I finished in just under three hours. Almost the exact time it took me to run 16 two weeks ago. I ran with my friend Charley who inspires me greatly not only with her running but for many reasons that are far beyond the scope of this breezy blog. It was a great morning. I feel so much better today than I did after the 16 miler two weeks ago. I also found that running with a group makes the time go by so much faster. I ran the four minutes segments much faster (at least 30 seconds) than I run alone. I never imagined I could run more than a 5k, much less a half...and now to be able to knock out 17 and not keel over is simply amazing. I'm proud of me. Now for some pretty new fall running clothes!
