Running is Personal

Miles today: 4

Miles in 2010: 49.4

don't think that spending time running with others isn't personal...cause it is.

 

I ran with a Lynchburg Road Runner friend, Nancy, for the first time today...it's  funny how much you learn about someone when you run just a few miles with them.

Nancy has been running for just two years and is a little older than me...but she definitely can maintain! she offered me a lovely peppermint during the run and we chatted about pace, breathing, family, and work.

it was refreshing and interesting to run with someone I don't really know and learn some things about them that i wouldn't normally know unless we ran together.

 I learned that Nancy:

• has a daughter who is 39 and a few grandkids.
• prefers not to wear a jacket when running.
• always carries some peppermints.
• wants to run a 26 minute 5k this year.
• used to be a bookkeeper.
• has a strong kick at the end.
• is fun to run with!

We had a great run and I am always looking for buddies to run with, so if you're reading this and you run an 8-9:30 mile, let me know. I'd love to run with you!
