What was supposed to be a leisurely run turned into a three mile warm up then a three mile tempo trying to beat the darkness.  I definitely have a fear of running in the dark, and the sun setting over the trail at 5:30 was very intimidating. I didn't think it would get dark THAT early!

 

In more important news, I got a puppy!!!

I couldn't figure out how to get his picture to load, so instead I *think* the above is a link to it.

Today was one of those days where you fall in love with running again.  Last weekend one of my new friend's girlfriends was in town and shortly after meeting we realized we were both runners so we of course hit if off.  She told me she was doing the Richmond Marathon but was very nervous because her longest run was only 15 miles because life had gotten so busy. When she asked if I wanted to help her out at the end, I jumped on the chance!

So today I road to Richmond with some people and we waited at the 19 mile mark for Jessi to come by. I think it was about 3:20 or so in the race when she passed us with a huge smile and said "let's go lady!" So I hopped into the race with her and run/walked to mile 26, then watched her surge to the finish.  She was a ton of fun to run with, and we were laughing, singing and dancing the whole way. She finished around 4:45... not bad for the lack of training. The marathon really seemed like a great one from the parts I saw. I was pretty impressed.

And to make things even better, Jessi is now moving to Farmville, so I will have someone to run with!! Finally!!
