Finally, after two weeks of being hauled up in the house and running all of my training runs on the treadmill, included an 8 mile one last Saturday......I got to get out for our Saturday run and actually run in the fresh air and sunshine. It was WONDERFUL!!!!! Today's run was a fund raiser for our free training program it helps raise money to buy the snacks and Gatorade that we use each Saturday. It was a lot of fun, the run is called The Poker Run. It is 5 miles and each mile you get a card and then at the end everyone gets a prize starting with the best hand down. Well, I was at the bottom I only had a pair of fours. I walked away with a glass...that was from a previous 5k. It was so good to get out and be outside for a little while and not be couped up in the house. There was still lots of snow but the main path for our run was clear except for lots of ice spots. I almost busted it about five times, but each time I ended up grabbing on to Katherine and she saved me from falling. I am just glad I didn't take us both down.
Here are my wonderful running buddies. These girls keep me motivated especially to get out in the cold each Saturday morning to do our longer runs. I honestly don't think I could be doing this on my own.
