My back was really stiff this morning when I left the house to meet Kathy L. for a shortie. She's just getting over a fractured ankle, so I knew she would be going slow. Just what I needed. Took my back a couple of miles to loosen, and we never did speed up much. We did 3 together, then I ran back home to finish my 4.5.

Running with Rose, Jessie and Jill tomorrow. All three of them may run off and leave me, but that's OK. Just get the 20 or so done, which will put me at 70ish for the week.Very good way to finish off 2012 from a running standpoint. So much so that I'll take NYE off (which is what's on the schedule anyway).
