slow pace.....

last night i meet up with a running group at a park in town. this is the first time i have meet/ran with a group, it was fun, and much easier!

When i arrived at the park(with the kiddos), it was pouring down rain. i sat and waited on the one person i knew in the group and kept debating on whether or not to stay. i am so glad i did; for one, the gas to get down there(WOW) and second it stopped raining right before we got out of the car and it felt awesome outside!

it was so nice to run on a gravel surface and not concrete and with a partner. i ran and breathed much easier than when i run alone in the neighborhood.

we did 3 miles at a 13-14 mile an hour pace, i know it was slow, but it was my first time to just run, plus i was pushing almost 60 lbs of kids on a wet surface!(i love excuses like that!). i felt good during and after and can't wait to go back next week!
