I found a friend to run with. If you all remember, my being able to get out there and run highly depends on me finding a running partner. Well, I found a new friend who also wants to train for her second triathlon also, so we are in this together! It’s great because we are on the same level, too.
We walked/jogged a lot of this 3 miles but I couldn’t believe how quickly the end came! At one point she said “let’s run again, that’s the end up there.” I said “What!! It is?! Okay, let’s go!” 
She lives about 45 mins from me and we met halfway to run a well-known loop. We passed a few runners and lots of other walkers, too. I am excited to stick to familiar trails because it’s so great to see myself improve and KNOW I am improving when I run the same trails.
In perfect timing, my friend Megan emailed me today and said “I want to start running again, tell me your schedule and I will work around it. I will even come to your neighborhood.” How great is THAT!
In addition… I just spent the last 15 mins or so reading through all old entries under the category “run” and wow… was that encouraging. I am glad I was so open and honest in my writing. I had forgotten how fun it was to run and see myself improve so quickly. Not to mention, I do really miss the camaraderie around here.
Alright, so this week I hope to get in two more runs and at least one bike ride. I also hope to get new (clip) pedals put on my bike early next month. Woohoo. I think this triathlon I will have to do without new running shoes. We’ll see…
I’m excited!
