Friends and Running

Okay I should make a commitment to updating the blog more regularly. :)

But I have been busy with training, and work and other things too-like the neccessity of laundry and grocery shopping, because I like to have clean clothes and eat. :)

Running continues to move along- conquered an 18 miler two weeks ago and this week is the big 20! I'm just hoping not to get drenched like we did last year, but so far the forecast looks clear and sunny, so that's a good thing. And I'm learning to like (if not love) speed work on Wed nights. I always like it best when it is over- of course, but I really do appreciate all the time and effort Jeff (our speed work coach) has put into planning the wokouts this season. It gives me direction and a good anchor for the middle of the week. Plus I do think it's been helping my running, I feel stronger and more confident.

Tonight I enjoyed a wonderful trail run at a trail right near my home with some dear and special "running" friends. They are one of the joys and delights in my life. I never would have met them if not for running and for that I am will always be grateful.

Running and friends seem to go hand in hand for me, I'm so blessed to have the wonderful running family that I do! Encouraging and supportive and sometimes a little "pushy" to do things I don't think I can!
