I don't drink iced coffee but am a huge fan of an iced macchiato or green tea latte after my runs.

I feel super lucky, but I'm pretty sure part of it is following a smart plan rather than just trying to "race pace" every run like I did in the spring. Having a coach has really helped in that regard! :) Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413371644902006675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-15606798134351499782013-07-19T02:16:01.875-04:002013-07-19T02:16:01.875-04:00I love having someone with me on my long runs, but...I love having someone with me on my long runs, but on my shorter runs I like to be by myself and run out the frustrations of my day.<br /><br />Good luck on the bar!!

If I am really motivated gotta go solo, keep my own pace. If I am not so motivated I like to have a partner to keep pace and keep me motivated. No matter how tired, out of it, or non-motivated I feel I still refuse to let my partner get too far ahead (or finish ahead of me most of the time, just a little competitive).Tom T.http://regularhealthycompetition.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495472091669524208.post-33069602258350061522013-07-18T09:34:19.518-04:002013-07-18T09:34:19.518-04:00Seriously this sounds just like me!!
