The Perfect Training Partner

As I have been at william and mary, i have noticed, people tend to liek to run with the same people a lot. As i was feeling everything out the first couple weeks, trying to figure out the nuances and tendencies of my teammates. i developed a pretty special bong with a certain runner. How did we do this?? Well not only where we incoming freshman, we had very similar mileage and happened to be in the same areas in our workouts. So we continuously ran together, including on Saturdays when we dont have official practice and go for runs on our own. We sit up all night texting when we would go for a run, or we would usually be together on Friday Nights, only was his roommate more inseparable than we were ;). We pretty much wouldnt leave the locker room without first figuring out how much we were going to do and who we wanted to run with. We got so comfortable with each other that on our runs by ourselves we didnt have to talk, it was just perfect harmony running together, like we were meant to be haha. Going into the middle of the xc season, one of us got sort of injured and things just went haywire. The normalcy of our runs had vanished. Every time without fail, I looked to my left to find him, but than i remembered he was lower in mileage now. We could look into each others faces and just see the dejection we both had. Now things are beginning to turn to normalcy and if my leg pans out we will soon find each other again gleaming in the woods, as we share the path between each other.

We even take macro economics together, he reads my blog everyday (my most advid reader, and is brutality honest telling me that my posts sucked. Altogether the perfect training partner is one that runs similar to you, runs mainly the same mileage, supportive, and is always there to push you through :). I hope everyone that runs will have that perfect training partner. This one is for you training buddy!

Good luck at Navy Champ you're last two workouts have been impressive.. Mull it over why dont you

Today we ran 11.5 miles w/ Max, Pat, Skeet, and Tom. We hit up new trails again today and mainly stayed on paths. It progressively got quicker. For some reason, of late, in the middle of my runs I feel shaky, like i have low blood sugar or something. It's been kinda weirding me out. I hope it does not persist. after my run, we were suppose to do strides, but i decided to put it off till saturday. I am really not looking forward to tomorrow's workout, because it s suppose to be under freezing :/. I did my stretches and iced today.
