Day Run and Training Partner

Blogger ate my first post, here is the abridged version.

Ran in daytime today, R3/W1, no real probs, just a labored run. Got it barely in under 12 min miles:
3 miles
35:55 (11:58/mile)

Also found a training partner for HM. SIL is an Air Force Academy grad who finished a marathon in the 1990's in 4:10--clearly, a LOT faster than I am. She is glad for the excuse to get out and exercise again, I am glad for the expertise and companionship. We'll probably only do a few long runs together due to schedules, but on race day, I told her she does NOT have to stay with me, she can zip ahead if she wants.

Showed her my training plan, Galloway's To Finish plan. She was suprised there was a long run of 14 miles a few weeks before the HM.

Peace out.
