i gave blood this afternoon at 3:30, so i couldn't do anything terribly strenuous. rather than run by myself and risk running too hard, i grabbed my wife from work and went out with her. we mapped out a 5K and then ran the route we'd made.
our first mile was done in just over 10'00" pace. about a quarter mile after the mile mark, my wife suddenly had trouble breathing so we walked a little less than a block before starting up again.
we ran most of the rest of the way with only three (or was it four?) more walking breaks. we finished the 5K in less than 36 minutes. this is the first time i've run with her that she's been under 12'00" pace! she claimed i pushed her a bit, but i was just doing what she could do. i waited for her when she slowed and sped up only when it seemed she was. she's just getting better.
