Today’s Run:  12.14 miles

I had a new running partner for today’s run!  MFH is out with Sciatica issues and therefore, unable to run.  Poor guy is pretty uncomfortable.  He tried to run on Thursday and made it about 100 yards before he had to turn around and walk home.  I hate to see him hurt.  He is slowly getting better and hopefully he will be able to join me on our morning runs again soon.

This brings me to my new running partner.

See, I am a FB page admin for a running group.  The running group is a virtual running group and I am the Chapter Admin for my state.  Lots of fun with that!  I met today’s running partner through my state group.

She lives in the same town as I do and is training for her first full marathon.  She is in the final part of her training~The Long Slow Run. Today she was supposed to run 18 miles but seeing as I just did my marathon two weeks ago, running 18 was a little out of the question.  We did a compromise and we both had a nice, long run.

Next weekend I am doing a Half Marathon and she is talking about running that with me!  Would not that be fun!?!  MFH will not be able to run it with me and seeing as he really does not like running longer distances like I do, this would be perfect!

She does a lot of racing.  I do not.  Too expensive!  With racing comes a lot of training and we are talking about doing a training run once a week together.

Really, being the admin for this page has been beneficial!  I had something to do during the day~keeps me out of trouble (theoretically)~and I get to meet nice people who like to run as much as I do!  Cool Beans!!!
