Wow! 10 miles for the week, a new record I think.
Went to the gym and did 1 hour on the elliptical followed my 15 minutes of weights, I then drove and met Jake, Andrea, Allie, James, Adam, Emily, and Devra. Ran 10 miles on the JRP trail on a nice morning. James asked me why I was running when I suspected having a stress fracture, I told him "cause I'm an idiot" which is partially true. but driving home I thought more about it. So, here is my real reason. Every day it seems I am either on the treadmill at LT at 4:30 or on some random Hotel treadmill in some foreign place, or if I'm lucky running outside in some random City. What ever the case I'm almost always running alone. Very seldom do the planets align to where I can actually go on a fun run with company. Because of this, I have actually been looking forward to a New Years group run for quite some time now. I wasn't real picky about who, or where I just knew I wanted to do it. I took the entire week off of running to try and feel better and when Jake and Andrea posted that they were planning a run I was excited to go. I'm no going to win a marathon any time soon, I'm not going to qualify for the Olympic trials so pretty much all I have to look forward to is a nice run every once in a while. And that James is why I ran with a suspected stress fracture, because todays run meant more to me than running with an injury.
