and just like that...

it all comes together.

Yesterday I had my scheduled running date with my coworker Kath, but it was such a nice day 2 others coworkers decided to join us. We had such a great time!

Kath and I started running together last January when I decided that I wanted to run a 5K. We started slow together and ran race - Kath beat me by about a minute. However, I kept running, and she didn't.  I have trained my body for an entire year and am in a really great place physically, but I'm usually at the back of the pack - I'm just not fast. However, running with Kath reminded me of how far I've come. Kath did great, but she struggled  and I didn't. After she was finished (just under 30 minutes) me and the 2 other running companions box jumped a giant cement block on campus (woohoo! They were both impressed that I could do it!) and then I kept going with them. One peeled off after just over 3 miles, but the guy and I kept going and finished with 4.2 miles.

It was a gorgeous day and a beautiful reminder of how far I've come. I'm a lucky girl!
