Yea! Running with a friend!

I had a 18 mile run on the schedule today.  And I ran part of it with my friend Beth who I had not seen in a long time!   Man!! What a difference conversation makes! It was a great run!!

I usually run by myself.  Whenever I get a chance to leave the house and get on the road, is when I get it done.  As my workouts have gotten longer I have had to do a little more planning to figure out when and where to go.  Beth and I had wanted to get together to run all summer but between vacations and work schedules  and kids we never even had a chance to plan anything. 

So with a week of summer left we finally made plans.  After some quick math we decided on a meeting area and I planned how to get my additional miles in before and after I met her.  We ran nine together trying to catch up on everything going on in our lives.  Hopefully this will become a weekly thing.  Nine miles isn’t nearly enough time to catch up with someone who you have known for over twenty years. 

 It was fun to run with a friend.
