I had yet anoth­er 3 mil­er today. Went fine. I post­ed on Craigslist look­ing for anoth­er marathon run­ner to prac­tice with and then almost imme­di­ate­ly dis­cov­ered that one of my cowork­ers is plan­ning on run­ning as well. Hope­ful­ly I can con­vince her to prac­tice with me. Train­ing goes so much bet­ter when some­one shares the mis­ery. I was start­ing to flag a bit on the run today until I saw anoth­er run­ner in front of me. Then I had some­thing to con­cen­trate on. I just kept my eye on her shoul­der and for­got about how my side hurt.
