Drove up to my mom's on Friday. Ran this morning around Riverside. About 4 miles in, I heard footsteps behind me. For about a half mile, a woman and I ran parallel (me on the sidewalk and her in the street). Finally, when I realized we were going to continue running the same way, I started talking to her. She was running 10 miles, just for fun. She said she has lost 35 pounds this year, and increased her running a bunch so that she could keep it off. She has never run more than 10 miles, but we talked about races and whatnot. Finally we parted ways when she turned right and i thought i was turning left. Turns out I turned the wrong way, but whatever. I made it home. I didn't have my garmin, but I mapped this, and it was just under 7. |
