been running at least a couple times a week for a few weeks now. tonight was my evening to run with my coworker and it actually wasn't freezing out. we were both quite tired from the day's work but went ahead as planned and it turned out to be a good run. I actually enjoyed the entire run and felt good. Previous runs this year have been an exercise in enduring, but tonight was fun. I might be on to something here...

training partner fun
so this coworker who wants to run a half-marathon has a habit of wanting to post pone our runs.
with today's weather heading for 50, I was happy to have our run scheduled for 2pm, but then I get a text message from coworker wanting to run at 6pm instead, because she had a rough night and needed some sleep. She also prefers to run at night "so nobody will see" her. Sigh. I am certainly nothing to look at, but I am way past worrying that people will notice my extra portions jiggling. The way I see it, hey at least I'm exercising. Then later, I got another text message saying she wasn't going to make the run at all today. Fortunately, there was still time to get out and enjoy the sunshine when I got the message. So I did just that and put in a 3.5 mile run on my own. Because it's much easier for me to go running when I've committed to meeting somebody else, I consider today a big success. The run actually felt good too.
