I was a beautiful day. I felt awesome, it felt really good to pick up my pace and run to music...I ran to Craigs list, "Dance Friender Dance," "Are we human, or are we runner?" I ran a route I used to run with Meagan, parallel to skunk trail, then along the wall-out and back. I am going to miss AZ. Today was a run down memory lane. I thought of all the runs I've done since living here. When I first moved here and ran with Meagan... dying in the heat and going without water! She started the MWU running club. It was awesome to get up and have a group to run with 3 days a week. She was a great motivator. Then running with Cami. She and I had similar pace and goals. We trained for St George together. I remember doing mile repeats with her at the track...doing our long runs on the skunk trail out and back out and back..... Then one year I trained with Cameron, he was doing the Logan marathon. We would do late night runs starting at 9-10pm. One year I trained with Taya while she was training for Ogden. For awhile a group of us girls on campus ran together....most were just beginners --it was fun to see them progress to run 3 miles. Then there was Christi and Liora. I was supposedly their trainer. I don't think I should do it professionally. Christi did finish her marathon and did great! She only had two months of training and had never ran more than a 10K..I'm very proud of her! Liora is working toward her 5K, she'll do it! I'll miss running at Arrowhead Lakes, skunk trail, utopia. The weather here is perfect nearly 9 months out of the year. What am I going to do in Detroit? I'm glad to have this blog. You are all my virtual running partners. You motivate and inspire me. Thank you! |
