I feel great after taking the weekend to rest. I have a lot more energy then I did last week. This morning there was a bit of snow outside and my neighbor doesn't like running in snow so we had decided last night to go to the indoor track. We were to meet at 6:00. I sat in my car and waited but she didn't come and there were no lights on at her house so I left. I did the first two miles alone and then she showed up after having slept past her alarm. I guess a benefit of track running is that she was able to join me half way through. There is a boot camp that meets Mon, Wed, Fri at the Rec center. Today the instructor had them run 4 laps then do some strength training, then back for 4 more laps(the track is 13 laps for a mile). They came up to the track a few times and the competitiveness in me kicked in. I just had to pass all of them and couldn't let anyone pass me. This made me run pretty quick. There was one man who was pretty fast and I could only hold him off for one lap, then he passed me. Other than that, I was able to pass all of them(about 20 people). I know it is silly competition because they had been doing other exercises in between and looked really tired but still, I couldn't let the boot camp win, and they didn't.
