Running 8 miles never felt so fine, on a Tuesday morning that was all mine...

(Okay, so that's not me running, but I basically felt just like her. It was freezing with a windchill of something around 4 degrees. And yet, I had looked outside and thought it was going to be sunny and warming up to 40 degrees, so I would have loved another layer. And, no one showed up this morning at our usually meeting time and place, so I nearly jumped back in my car and went shopping instead. But I decided to just go for it and I was blessed with a peaceful and rejuvenating 8 miles. And, I am trying to run 25 miles each week, so recording this will help keep me on track.)

I love Tuesday mornings.

It's so great you find such enjoyment and solace in your runs. And very inspiring how dedicated you are.

You're amazing Annee. I've been training for a 5k very slowly and I think that's the key to me liking running. I can't over do it or I'll quit. Hopefully I'll work up to a half marathon again someday.

So jealous! I desperately need an 8 miler. That sounds like the perfect thing for me right now. The picture fooled me, are you sure it's not you?! Do you run with a running club or just friends?

And, you're moving to Korea? Holy Cow. I'm kind of jealous to be honest. I hope all goes well these next few months, with the prep and all of that.

Hey Mandy, it did feel good to push myself back up to higher mileage. I totally agree about needing it. And I just run with friends. Not as official as a running club, but some of us simply know each other from our once a week meeting spot. It's pretty wide open to anyone who wants to show up. It's fun that way.
