Old Chums

Got in a super good 10 miles this morning with most of the old Thursday morning running friends....Diana H, Shan R and Steve F.  The only person missing from the old crew was Mark L.

I started out up front with Steve and as we pulled away a couple of times I was thankful that Diana and Shan held back.  Steve is a lot faster than me and probably them too.  My shoe came untied in the first mile and then we stopped at the water table at 1st street and that was our only stops the entire first 7 miles......huge for me!!!!!

We stopped and I checked the time....1:08:55!!!  I was so happy.  Then, Shan said that she was going to get another 3 miles.  My first thought was, "that's cool, but I'm done".  But, after thinking about it a few more seconds I said, "Hey, I'm game for 3 more"!!!  Diana shrugged and said, " Well, I guess I'm in too.  On mornings like this Steve parks at the YMCA and runs to meet us at 6am and then runs back so he gets in around 9 miles every time he joins us.  So, we all 4 headed back the opposite direction.  What a great morning with good friends!!!

3 miles at Lady Bird Lake after work yesterday!!
