Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

We left at 4:45 am & drove up to the park and ride. Neither of us could bare the thought of another NC run, we needed a change of scenery. I love running Dimple Dell, its my favorite. It was dark, windy and a little creepy when we got started, we kept our music off and stayed together. Erin has a way of freaking out and then she freaks me out. Not in a super scary way, we laugh while we panic a little. :) When we turned off of Dimple dell, there was a strong head wind that was brutal. I was running ahead of her the whole time and at every mile I would stop and wait, then run ahead again. When I got to the school {6 miles} there were two deer that leaped across the lawn, I knew that would freak Erin out so I turned around just so I could watch her reaction. It didn't disappoint. She stopped dead in her tracks then started to frogger across the street to avoid them.  I could see the panic on her face in the distance and I stood there and just laughed. Once the "demon" deer ran off she started to run again. Comical. Then when we turned up onto 20th, it started to sprinkle..then rain..then down pour..then hail..then go back to crocodile raindrops. I was ahead of her but I was giggling while I was running at the thought of her freaking out. Ha! But it felt good. I was tired of the dry warm headwind. We finished down by IFA where Scott picked us up. [Thanks Scott!] And we were soaking wet. It never stopped down pouring. Get High!

I just read that back and realized I used "bare" instead of "bear" sorry about that. I know it will ruin your whole day if I don't let you know that I was wrong. I mean, it will just send you right over the edge.
