Sound the alarm!
I woke up at 5:30. In the morning. Which still felt like the night. Got dressed, got in my car, and met up with a friend to run. Oh and did I mention it was raining? I found it to be hugely gratifying. After all this cold weather/rain/snow/freezing rain/hail nonsense I’ve been dealing with, I finally feel like a legit runner. We did 2 easy miles at a slow walk/jog pace – can’t scare my new running buddy off!
Not long after snapping this beaut, a homeless man happened across our path on his way to use the bathroom in the woods. Pretty much it was a good morning to be running with a buddy. I ran the last half mile with some extra pep in my step, let’s just say that.
Also, I rather easily talked my friend into doing the Brave American 5K with me in the beginning of March. I think this will be her first 5K, and I plan on using it as the test 5K in Hal Higdon’s Intermediate 5K Program.
Mad props on your early bird run! I ran at 9:30am two weekends ago and was VERY proud of myself, NO WAY, I could get up at 5:30!
Those homeless people are always scaring me! Glad you had a buddy.
