Girl Power

Sorry for the delay in posting to my blog this morning. I know that reading it has become part of your morning routine. Today other responsibilities related to God (Sunday school) called. Since my soul is more important to me than providing your morning reading material, I delayed my blog work. I know you are shocked that my world does not revolve around you all, but also realize that I am helping your soul too since you were actually working while at work for once! See! I am always looking out for you!

I think Larry was channeling through me this morning. For at least for a minute I felt that I might be feeling a level of enthusiasm close to his. While we were running there was a point where I saw 7 (yes, count’em SEVEN) female (We MISS you Mike!) shadows running along with me. Something about that just sends a chill through my spine. I think it just awesome that all of us are out there running TOGETHER. I hate to say “GIRL POWER” but it is kinda like that. Of course, we are more ‘mature’ and enlightened “girls”. Plus, all the great friendships we have developed as a result! It just sends a warm fuzzy right to my soul!

Plus we had another surprise this morning. AMY showed up! I was wondering who it was as she got out of her car. (another NEW runner?) I didn’t get a chance to talk with her and find out how her knee is holding up and if she is training for anything. GREAT to have her back!

I can hear Jill now, “You didn’t get to talk to Amy because you were running too darn fast”. Yes, Jill – You are right. It was a GOOD run. I think I was enjoying not running with my Garmin (low batteries). No pressure. But of course as soon as we were done (actually before) I asked Wendy what our pace was – 8:33!!! Whoo Whoo! Wendy – two words: Interval training. Which reminds me of the face Wendy gave me when I mentioned doing intervals this morning. Not one of her better looks, but the meaning was clear! Please note everyone – this was requested by Evil Jill. She tries to be sneaky by sending me an e-mail before our run asking to do them. But does she pipe up when everyone groans when I say “How about intervals?” NOOOOOOO. She stands there quietly. In fact, I think she even groans too. She is SNEAKY, be warned!

Have a great weekend everyone!
