I was actually a little sore this morning from my run yesterday.  Weird.  It was a good kind sore - muscles instead of joints - so I didn't worry about running today on it.  But I stretched my hips a lot beforehand just in case.  Dawn, her friend, and I headed back to that wild nature "park", and even though we took a different route, we still ended up blazing a trail at some point.  I really like our Wednesday runs.  I have no idea where I am or how far I've gone, but I'm climbing over boulders, through sand, doing a lot of uphill, and with 2 other equal running partners.  The only bad thing is I kept almost twisting my ankle.  I never fell or sprained it, but I came close.  Dawn's out of town this weekend, so I don't have a partner again until next Wednesday.  Bummer.  Maybe I'll see if Lynn wants to run slow with me for my 7 mile run....  ; )

Sounds like an exciting run full of obstacles. Good luck getting out without a partner. You can do it!! (and you'll be glad you did)

Wow, that DOES sound exciting. You should try a steeplechase sometime. Sounds like you're ready for one!

Good job, Laura, and thanks for the sweet comment.
