Longest training yet!

Today we ran for an hour! Yes, thirty minutes out and thirty minutes back (or, if you're like me and run slower as time goes on, 34 minutes back). We got to run along the ocean for a bit of it and then headed inland into Montecito neighborhoods - and hills. Especially one in particular. It was great running down, but when I had to head back up it took every ounce of my being to keep running at the top.

I am one of the slowest runners in our group, which I don't mind very much; as long as I run the whole time and feel like I'm working hard, I feel good. But I ended up running alone for almost the whole time because no one was quite at my pace. So when a woman passed me and said, "Are you with TNT? Keep it up! You're in the home stretch!" I was so filled with excitement and my morale shot through the roof! I never realized how much easier exercising is when you're with another person!
