I thought that I had the perfect running buddy this year. Since I had to find a new one this season. Well, come to find out my new buddy (not mentioning names) is just slumming in the back with me. Although she might boast very little about running track in high school, she failed to tell us how well she ran in high school.
I just happen last night, no I am not a stalker, to be looking for our Salem Lake times and could not get it to come up. Me being somewhat computer illiterate, I put her name in the Google search. So here comes races she has been in the past. Quite a few I might add. Then I look at the times. I was shocked.. I mean 7:?? minute miles! Like what are you thinking being in the slow lane with me. I will never be able to run an 8 minute mile. Heck, I am happy to break 10! Oh well........ it has been fun friend, my fast friend. I sure am glad Jess is having a baby and coming back next year! No harm intended but after having a baby I should be able to keep up with her!
Tonight's hill training was a nice break from the killer hills we normally do. The funny part was us all trying to figure out what hill we were really running. Now I could do without the 15 push ups and core work. Yes I know I need it but man....
I am super excited (my kids say that) about triathlon training with Marisa. I wonder if she attend "Chicken of the Sea" classes with me?
Farewell and good night my loyal blog followers! Until next time........

HAHAHA, whatever! There is no getting rid of me now, we are running buddies for life. I haven't met Jess but anyone that can deal with you must be cool so we can make it a threesome if you like but I'm here to stay so you will just have to deal with it!
Ok You can run with me next time....I will be in your lane my dear friend.
I don't know if I should be offended or just face up to the fact that you are speaking the truth, my friend! I will definitely be bringing down the average mile/minute... esp for the first few months. I'm glad running with your slow friend sounds more appealing to you now :) BUT before our first race, I will be as fast as you again... and I will pass the finish line first! HA!
Ok...I updated my blog...and it is dedicated to you and the group! I'll come up with another educational one in the next day or so. I have hd a good bit of computer time today! I'm getting cabin fever at the moment...ugh, I'm still in my PJs! But I did make it out for a bike ride this morning!
