For a while now my boyfriend has talked about how he wants to go running with me. He said he used to run a lot with a friend who was military, but he hasn’t in forever. He knew he couldn’t keep up with me so I thought it would be a good idea to go to the track. We could each run as much as we wanted at whatever pace.
He kept cracking on himself about how he was going to throw up or not be able to move after, which I knew wasn’t true, but I didn’t know what to expect when we got out there. Well I was quite impressed with him. He walked a lap, ran a lap, walked a lap, ran a lap etc for about a total of 2 miles. I do know that in the future he will need some Vaseline or petroleum jelly. He had some chaffing issues haha.
I knocked out 5 miles and I have to admit it was weeeeeird being back on the track. I haven’t ran on the track since May or June. I felt like I was moving so slow, but then I’d look and see I was running at sub 10 min pace.
I did straight laps the first 3 miles and the last 2 miles I did interval spirits. I want run as fast as I could on the straight aways and walk/jog the curve of the track. W was quite impressed with my running. He knew I was serious, but he didn’t think I was as fast and into as I am.
I really enjoyed being out on the track with him, we are going to do it more frequently which I’m excited about. Him and I also went to a state park and went on a little nature walk which was fun. He taught me how to skip stones – I had a few successes, but he’s way better. I enjoy being active with him and I hope we continue to do more outdoorsy things – did I mention he took me 4wheeling last week?!?! I even drove it after a while!
