Running Partner: Ben
How it Felt: Great! It was nice to have a good-feeling run after a couple of rough ones in a row. Running with someone really helps me to get motivated and to keep running when I'd maybe otherwise want to quit. Good conversation is better motivation than pumped-up music. That may change if my goal changes from just getting the run done to trying to be fast. I honestly don't know if I'll ever have trying to go faster as a goal. Right now I really enjoy running and I don't want to lose that. I fear it will be like when I decided to major in music in college. Playing went from something that was my favorite thing in the world to do to drudgery because it was so intense all the time. Of course, I didn't really start to love playing my horn until I got really good at it, so if I get really good at running, I might enjoy it even more. For now, I'm just going to keep getting out there and putting the miles in.
