Running in the rain, and dragging a friend out for a run (though not in that order)
So, a couple of days to recap today! Friday, I took a co-worker Derek out for a run. He had never gone further than 4.1, and didn’t think he could do 5 miles or longer. I figured that such self-doubts…

Last nights run and ponderings on speed. Plus, the 100 up challenge!
