June's house in Enumclaw. 7:00 a.m. Lisa drove to my house from hers and we carpooled from here. First time trying out the Sat. a.m. small group. She actually lived closer than I thought she did. We didn't go into the main town of Enumclaw but just turned L on 400th street SE. I had trouble figuring out what house it was but finally got it. We waiting in her home until Anna got there. It was just Lisa, me, June, and Anna today. It was not too cold out but wore my jacket and gloves just in case. We started out down her Road then took a L on the main Rd then headed up a Steep gradual hill. That killed Lisa and me! We couldn't keep up with the other 2 girls. It was a great work out there! And I am still sore as of right now, 6:30 p.m. We ran along some back roads past horses and cows. We had an amazing view at the top of the hill! It was so picture perfect! It wasn't rainning, weather was good, and we could see Mt. Rainier as we ran! What a early Saturday morning blessing. I ran with Lisa the whole time and had good conversation. Anna and June ran together a little ahead of us. Then when we did the loop back to June's house Lisa and I ran almost to the stop sign and back so we could get a full 7 miles in. Great run!! Great job Lisa!!!!! (even with that annoying sportsbra that was bugging you!)

Oh wow, I didn't even calculate that for myself, that's pretty neat! :) You're doing well though, running 4-5 days is excellent! You go MOM!

Way to go both of you! Sometime soon we need all 3 of us together! Hopefully I will be able to wean myself of the walk breaks soon, though it scares me! They certainly don't help my fun in running with a group. :-) You guys are going to rock the half - only 3 weeks from tomorrow!

Yes, I miss running with all 3 of us! Just let me know when you feel more ready.
