Today is my son Jake's birthday. He is 13. I am officially the parent of a teenager........... We headed out today very grateful to be back outside. We headed on an out & back course that is up hill for the first 3.5 and then down hill home. We had a little head wind on the way out but got going and felt pretty good. After about a mile we picked up the pace and by 2 we were going strong. At this point I was planning on just stopping by the bus stop to say Happy Birthday to Jake but I realized how embarased he would be of his sweaty, stinky mom with frozen hair. I started to wonder if I could make it home before he headed to the bus stop. At this point, I began seriously picking up the pace. I made it home before he left and gave him a big hug and then headed back out to finish up with Paula. She had just passed my street so I started after her and chased her down to her house. She walked in her door just as I got there. I cooled down with another mile to make it 8 for the day. One the down side today.......This is probably the worst day I have experienced with drivers. Only a very few moved out of the way for us. The majority didn't even slow down. Overall a very good run! Happy Running!
