I'm incredibly sore from yesterday. I was not really looking forward to running at 5:30 on a Saturday morning. However, Teren had somewhere to be at 7:30, so an early morning run it was. Luckily, Jenny met me to run. We ran 4800S to 1300W, down to Winchester, over to Fashion Place Boulevard, and back to Murray Park. We needed an extra lap around the park to hit 13, but I'm glad we did it. I was originally willing to stop at 12.

Besides the early morning cold and stiffness, I enjoyed the run. I'm glad that Jenny and I can share anything. Today was one of those deep, meaningful conversations that can happen when you run with a good friend. Getting the mileage in is important, but even more so is having time to connect with a friend. There's nothing more conducive to good coversation than a long run!

7:25 pace. I really need a good stretch, a hot shower, a cup of hot chocolate, and a nap.

Thanks for the great run. You are awesome and I always appreciate your listening ear. And I'm so glad we ran 13 miles and not 12 because I would have had 49 miles for the week...that would have driven me crazy! :)
