Yea, a run I am excited to post. So, I met up with Michelle this morning for the first time to run (exclusive I mean). I just had an hour and she wanted to go 10 miles, so she agreed to run with me while I could go and then finish up solo after I had to head home. We started on the 5 mile square route and then added on some additional mileage at the end. I have come to love this little route but more than anything really enjoyed running with Michelle. I have to admit that I was a little nervous and even had a hard time sleeping in anticipation for this morning. When I left I said to Tyler "Wish me luck, I will need it", he replied with "you will do great, just let her set the pace and go with it". This is the wonderful thing about Michelle, she never once even mentioned the pace or that it was slow, fast, etc. She just rolled along without even looking at our pace, THANK YOU MICHELLE! I probably talked her ear off but it was great to get to know her better and to learn from her amazing abilities with running. When we hit about 6 miles, we ran into McKenzie and so she ran the my last little leg with me before I had to head for home, and they kept going. That was the first time I have run with McKenzie as well so all in all, it was a great morning with a little change that I really enjoyed! Thanks again Michelle for working that out with me and allowing me to run with you, I would love any opportunity to run with you again so keep me posted on your weekly schedule. The best part about this morning is that I FELT GREAT!! I have struggled since the marathon to get my body to move and to feel good while running, but today, I felt great and regained some of my confidence. My brother just flew in from GA for the weekend so we are heading back down to St. George tonight for a little family weekend. My brother and I are going to do a long run on Saturday on the marathon course that I am really looking forward to, more so after today. Hope you all have a great Thursday!
