I don't want to run alone......

There's no doubt about it.  Running alone is not fun for me.  I know some people who love to get out there and run by themselves, all alone with their thoughts.  Not me.  I need the encouragement & support that comes with running with a buddy or, even better, a group.

Due to childcare issues, I had to run by myself tonight.  Granted, I was at the YMCA, in the air conditioning.  But I was on a treadmill (BORING).  I was running alone (also BORING).  OK, there was a girl on a treadmill two machines away.  And a guy on the stair climber behind me.  And a room full of people right next door.  But it's not the same. 

And it was the 2nd night of interval running.  30 minutes total, 3 minutes of hard/fast running, 2 minutes of recovery.  Bad enough with a group.  Downright torture when you are the only one pushing yourself.  And my self really didn't want to be there.  But I overcame my self objections, pushed through, toughed it out and got 'r done. 

Whew!

Summary:
30 minute run (3/2 interval) roughly 2 miles
