RUN RUN RUN!

When I went to Wisconsin last, I mentioned having gone for a run in 4ยบ F weather. That was just over a month ago, and I hadn't been since. Until a couple weeks ago. I had a bit of a harder day at work than I was expecting, which lead me to want to plan an evening of anti-social activities. Luckily though, I have friends with better interests.

A couple weeks ago, Kate sent me a text and asked if I wanted to go for a run since the weather was so beautiful out. Of course I had to say yes, there was no doubting that my antisocial plans would include nothing remotely healthy of any kind. Running with Kate was the perfect option. Especially when you consider the amount of snow we were to get over the rest of the week. It was then or never (or at least a while).

I continue to look at runs in the area over the next few months, but have not yet registered for one. I have agreed to train with a friend who intends to run the Twin Cities Marathon in October. And I have officially decided (yet not registered for) that I want to run the 10K that happens the same weekend. One way or another, I will be participating in an event that weekend. Just you wait and see!!

In the meantime and despite my indecisiveness to sign up for a race, I am enjoying runs all over the city. Kate and I went again last week. Last weekend, I went for a run with Holly around Lake Harriet  That was a first for me. Loved it.. the weather was beautiful and it felt as though half the city was out!! Cannot wait to do it again!
