Hey everyone! So, Shannon has been bugging me to write something - and if you know Shannon, you know I won't hear the end of it until I contribute! (kidding Shannon! :-) So, here goes...

Today we had our first weekday "easy" run. We ran 5 miles starting at 5:30 a.m. I still can't believe I am getting up that early! It was a little hot, but the run was great. We ran with our coach from 301 - Laura - who we really enjoy running with. We were also lucky enough to run with a second coach as well - Barbara. She was supposed to run with a faster group, but no one showed up for her class, so she joined us. And I am very glad she did.

One thing I have enjoyed about these classes is the people we meet - people from all walks of life. Its very cool because no matter how different we are, we all have one thing in common - running. When I signed up for the classes, I never considered that it would be a place to make new friends, but it has been. The runs actually provide a great forum to get to know one another. There is really nothing else to do on the runs but chat with one another... and I do LOVE to chat :-) I look forward to meeting all the runners in our new class this weekend!

Great run this morning girls! Keep it up!!!
