I can't tell you how different it is having a running partner to run with. It is so easy to let the lazies kick in when you are just by yourself. The little voices of "I'm tired" or "My legs hurt" can talk you out of preforming the best you can. That is where the delightful power of friendship kicks in. If you are responsible to someone else you don't want to mess up their workout with you slow and lazies. So you in turn run a little faster than you would alone. Its easier to treat others well than it is ourselves. I can't recommend running with a friend enough.
I also wanted to share a little mini victory with you all. I ran my fastest mile ever. It wasn't fast by anyone's standards than mine, but it means I am getting better as this little sport I have chosen. I have had a few false starts in the past but I have never in the shape I am in now. I can actually see myself doing well in some major distance races. If you can see it, you can do it. So I know I will do well in my future of this sport.
