Jogging Club at Work
October 21, 2010 01:43:42 PM
     I discovered there is an organized group of runners who jog several miles 3 times a week at my work. Normally I would run on my own in the gym on a treadmill, but after hearing about this group I thought I'd go with them instead. I figure running with others could help keep me motivated and could keep pushing me to do better.
     Yesterday was my first run with them, and let me tell you, 4.2 miles at even a leaserly pace was excruciating for me! The course they take has so many hills and I've never even attempted more than 3.2 miles and these guys are seasoned marathon runners. I was able to keep up for about half way, then I started lagging behind a little. A few times some of the guys ran in place till I caught up. The most embarrassing part was when we went past this one house with a bunch of guys on the front porch. I was able to hear one clearly say, ''And theres the guy who always lags behind.'' :-/ I wanted to go over there and punch him.
     At around 3.5 miles, I peeled off to head back to the office. I walked a little, then they caught up with me only 5 min later, so I ran with them all the way back to the office. So I probably ran 3.75 miles and walked .1, while they ran the full 4.2. When we got back, we stretched for a good 15min. I was huffing, but regained myself quickly. I'm a sprinter, not an endurance runner but I guess if I stay with these guys I'll eventually be able to run the whole way.

COMMENT: You did it, hon! The distance you ran and the pace you ran at was a big achievement. Don`t let anybody belittle it. Hmmph, the SOB was probably jealous cuz he probably can`t even entertain the thought of himself running. I`m sure you`ll be jogging right beside these seasoned marathon runners in a couple of weeks.
