Practice with someone better than you

Huge shout out to Capt. Bryan Lewis this morning! Bryan is with the 315th AW is training for the Marine Corps Marathon, and after talking smack about our skills we decided to run together today. His pace is probably about a minute faster than mine. Well I didn't want to look like a shmuck, so I kept up. WOW! It was a great run--and all along I experienced the 5 stages from my article the Psychology of Running--but in the end I finished 4 miles with him and felt a new sense of accomplishment. If you're looking to step up your routine than find a buddy that is slightly ahead of you. Did you know that SJ has a runners group-- and they are at all stages of trng. That's a great start if you're looking for some people to help motivate, encourage, jump start oand/r excel your training!
