I went out with Josh for a challenging 30 minute run. Josh really pushed me after his big run with the 9:00/mile pace group where they ran sub-9:00/mile for almost 5 miles. I was challenged and needed the challenge. I needed to get into a faster pace. Unfortunately, allergy season has started and I forgot to take Claritin two days in a row - BAD move! I struggled a bit, but did not give up.
