A few months ago I'd have given anything to be done with the long and sometimes dreaded Saturday run. But today is was welcomed. My friend whom I have semi-trained with in the past invited me to run with her today as she has started training for the Ogden Marathon. She was supposed to run 14 miles today and since I've only been up to 7 miles this year (and on a treadmill), I told her I'd love to go but that I'd only be able to do maybe 9 or 10.
We left around 9 since neither of us had anywhere to be and it was nice to start a little later. That's the great thing about running in the winter--you don't have to get up early to beat the heat. There was a light drizzle for the entire run which was nice. I've always loved running in the rain. I felt good and it was nice to have company and to be running outside. We are blessed with such beautiful running trails here and only a short distance from home.
We ran together for 10 miles and she continued on to meet her 14 mile goal. My legs were definitely feeling the distance but it wasn't too hard and I'm glad I went.
