I am a day behind on my blogging, so since it is Saturday, I’m now blogging about Friday. (Considering how long I went without Blogging, I’m ok with this) I just wanted to make sure you were following along!
So yesterday, I went for a 5 mile run in Crofton with 1/2 of Go Believe Conquer and Tim. I don’t Know which half Cindy is.. Is she believe? Or Conquer? Or if you only get one of the pair, do you just have lots of hope and accomplishment? I’ll have to ask next week…. I don’t think Tim blogs.. If he does, I will apologize to him profusely, add his blog-title to his name and erase this line.
But anyway, the 3 of us, all member of a super secret Crofton running Facebook page (the first rule of the super secret Crofton running page…) all agreed that some pre-dawn silliness was in order… So I was up at some god awful time that is too late to be a bed time, and too early to be a time to get up (4:30 am) to meet up with these two fellow nut-jobs (Cindy is more of a nut job though.. she gets up ridiculously early normally… She considers 3 am an acceptable get-up time. That’s a bed time.) to get some running in.
It was a chatty run. I like chatty runs. You get to learn about the people you run with, and the time goes by faster. In the case of chatting with other runners, while running, you usually get to learn about runners they have run with too. Interestingly, we seem to spend more time talking about our friend’s times – rather than our own
I did not get a picture of us, so I recreated the scene for you above. No animals or people were injured in the making of this re-enactment. You can clearly see we are running down the road. Its obviously near the end of our run as you can see the sun rising – and our pre-dawn silliness starts before the sun. Cindy is the one in the ARS shirt, and I am the better looking of the two handsome gentlemen.
We did an around the loop of the park way, with the inner loop of Eton added on. A nice five mile run, at a 10 mile pace, perfect for talking. Not a bad way to start the morning…
Though I will admit that I totally needed a nap by 2 pm…
And if you haven’t gone to check out Theresa and Cindy’s blog over at Go Believe Conquer – NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!!
I run, because I am a runner. Having realized that I have always "been a runner" - even when I went years with out running, I am learning how it has integrated itself in all aspects of my life. When I started running in highschool, my perspective on life changed. Funny that I didn't realize how much it had affected it until just recently.
