Training loves Company

I ran my first race of the year on March 5th, it was just a 10k. I thought I was prepared but I didn't feel prepared the whole time I was running.

See I have been running with a friend. Sometimes this friend has great running days and bad running days just like we all do. Somedays she is pulling me along and other days I feel like she is stopping to smell every flower along the trail. But she inspires me to get out there everyday because she is counting on me for that daily run. Before the race we were running approximately 5 miles a day in the mornings. We were getting up fairly early so I could get my workout in before I went to work, while she was able to lay around all day, so we worked around my schedule.

My friend and I haven't run together since the race because of me getting the bug that has been going around the office. But today we will start again when I get off work, now that the time change makes it lighter longer in the evenings. I know she will be so excited when I get home this evening and put on my running shoes and grab her leash......

  1. Is your friend your dog? Enough said, dogs can be and are most times the greatest friends a person can have! Looking forward to getting my own dog in a few years! Keep up the great work! You're doing great! I believe in you, my dear friend!
