Desperate Phone Calls

This morning at 4:30 I got a desperate phone call from my GOOD friend Christy. Here is how I I remember it:

She said, "Oh Allison, Oh Allison please come and run with me. Or else all by myself I will be". I responded "Oh Christy, the problem I do not see. Jill said she will be there unless it is below 5 degrees." She cried, "Yes! Yes! It is true, but Jill said a run she will not do!" Aghast, I must say, I was to hear such a buzz. So with a heavy heart I did tread. Out of my nice warm snugly bed. Off to run with my GOOD friend Christy. Although my eyes were a bit misty. My mood was quite blue. I could not see how this could be true. That our "friend" Jill would be such a pill. It wasn't even below 5 degrees! In the future, her friends she will have to work hard to appease.

Good readers, please remember that I am writing this at 6:00 in the morning. Good thing I had such a WONDERFUL run with Christy. Too bad Jill missed it.

I know you are wondering

I know you are wondering if we ran this morning. Yes! Elyse and the Cousins and I ran. It wasn't bad. If fact, I over dressed. I have to stop letting all those naysayers get in my head! The Walgreens clock said 7 below. There wasn't hardly any wind, so that wasn't a factor. We were a little quiet to begin with. No, it wasn't the shock of the cold. I think it was trying to speak and be heard clearly through face masks. It was so quiet that I even asked a question about football! We adjusted and by the end were chatting away. All of our cars started and we were back on our way home again.
