I did something very spontaneous today for my run. I went out with a co-worker on the trail that runs from my office to, conveniently, our apartment complex. The distance is only around 3 miles out and 3 back, but the girl I was running with is only able to run about 4 miles at this point.
*She's working on it, though! Only 6 months ago she could barely run a mile, and just last month she decided she wanted to run a 5k. She said she was awarded 2nd in her age group, and I'm so glad for her!
Anyway, so we got about a mile and a half out and she became over-heated and had to stop and catch her breath (it was around 80, probably about 50% humidity). I kept going to 2 miles and turned around and ran back. She was at the office already, waiting on me, and she said she was sorry and that she would definitely be up for it again. I don't know if she was overheated from the sun or from running my pace. Either way, at least she wasn't discouraged!
Outbound - 2 miles, 15:46, 7:53 average pace
Inbound (me by myself) - 2.02 miles, 14:07, 7:00 average pace (I have no idea how that happened)
Total - 4.02 miles, 29:53, 7:27 average pace
I then went inside and ran 4.43 miles on the treadmill at a 7:53 pace, for 35:00.
Total overall - 8.45 miles, 64:53, 7:40 average pace
In all, a very nice run today. I also did an hour on the arc trainer after work.
