Double the fun today running with Bethany and Marci. I was telling Marci before our run that she was going to pretty much kill me and she did. I'm pretty sure the pace was slow (I stopped to walk at one point and could keep up with them walking), but the company was good. 2 miles on the Planet Walk. I think my favorite part is the little bush-whacking section. I'm not sure why because it's actually kind of irritating, but in a fun, adventurous kind of way. (By the way, for those of you who are familiar with the Planet Walk: the bush-whacking section is the part of the trail that you run on if you run out towards the road instead of just across the railroad tracks and then come back down to meet the section of trail on the other side.) I'm so glad that I have people to run with. It makes it so much easier to get out there. I bought an MP3 player this weekend so that when I am forced to run by myself I will have something to keep me company.
So, I think Sasha might be right, I might be turning into an actual runner. I'm enjoying myself more right now than I have in a long time. If I can cut back to eight hour days at work, then I'll probably have more energy to do it, too.
