Yesterday morning I ran with my husband. We started out doing the same run I did the day before, but planned to turn back at the 1 mile mark and redo our first mile without stopping.

I was extremely winded at 15 min. which is what I had done the day before... but kept going for another two minutes. I ended not very far from my driveway but I just couldn't go any further. I was getting a diaphram pain and was beginning to feel a bit nausiated. We did 17 1/2 min. which was better than the day before... and that's good. :) I wanted to be able to do the full 20 min and finish with the two miles without stopping... maybe today, eh?

I like running with my husband, but it does throw you off a bit. Sometimes the listening of his pace (which he slowed down to run with me... but says he goes farther because of that... true), or just having a small conversation about the time or pace or where to go, etc... adds an element of obstacles it seems. It's good for training to be around others anyway. Yesterday he was cheering me on when I was running at the end, I know he was hoping to get me to our driveway and sending me encouragement for that, but I was getting irritated by it... I think once or twice would have been fine but I was so needing to focus on getting there that he was throwing me off..... that's crap, ya know... I don't want to be irritated by him cheering me on... :) It'll get better :)
