Happy Hump Day folks! I'm totally amped because I'm hitting the track tonight. I haven't been on an actual track in a while and even though I know it's going to hurt, I'm completely looking forward to the ass kicking.
Before I moved I was running my 800's on a parkway with quarter mile markers and it was lovely. However, since I moved it's a tad bit too far to travel before or after work. If I did suck it up and travel it would mean leaving the Lloydster by himself for far too long at home. I know he'd be fine because he would just pee on my new furniture but I'd rather not have him "christen" it just yet.
The past couple of weeks I had a Turkey Trot to use as speed work and I attempted some 800's on Bayshore using my Garmin but it wasn't the same as the good old track.
So today I will embark upon the local college track and join a different running group for these lung busting sessions. It's sort of like a first date. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time. Will I be the slowest? Will I vomit? Will Derek Jeter show up?
I want to make a good impression and not be a turtle but at the same time I love a running group that pushes me. Hell, if it weren't for the BRA speed demons I wouldn't be the runner I am today.
Wish me luck and speed. Or at least someone to hold my hair back.

If you puke on day 1 you will easily be chosen as badass of the group. No Doubt! I'd be impressed for sure.....that is of course after I laughed for a good 30 minutes.
Kick the snot out of that track workout.....you ARE the speed demon now!
hooray! running groups are almost always awesome.
Woman you're going running! Do like I do and give them a fake name....... HA
No puking allowed. It needs to be at least 85 degrees for that. No worries, you'll be fine.
Here's to a speedy day!!! I am moving with my running group from track to open road starting today....guess I have to get some reflective gear so I don't become roadkill!
Have a blast! New track+new group is a recipe for awesomeness.
Have fun with the new running group!
LOL! Good luck with the not throwing up thing. ;o)
Puking is all about how u handle it not that you are doing it! Being seasick a million times has taught me one thing about barfing...it is all how u rebound!
