First Run of 2016

We ran 8 miles today and it wasn't too bad. The weather was a little warmer than last Saturday. We ran the same route, except a little further at the end before the turnaround. I know in a few weeks I'll be thinking of how a run like this is a short run, comparatively speaking, but today didn't really feel like 8 miles. We kept the pace slow, knowing that we need to build up endurance rather than speed. And besides, the actual race is going to be for the experience, not for time. Not that we can't do our best to finish as quick as possible, but if we have to walk a lot that's okay. I guess the more we practice walking during a run the better, right?
