woke up this morning....

i woke up this morning. ( I know...right!?)
after about 4 alarms. (not typical)
sore quads and one sore right calf. (ouch)
i had to do a little bit of stretching. (duh)

all from a run in the rain. (with puddles!)

Mere and I hit the cement yesterday when it was rainin' cats and dogs outside.
I loved it.
Running reminds me that I am alive, that my heart beats, and that God has given me two legs for a reason. I need to use them, move them, and groove them :]
There have been three instances in my life where I feel like God has told me that running is good, it's something I should be doing, and something that will be of benefit to a healthy heart, soul, and mind. [plus keep me cancer free!...more on that next post]

I need to keep running as long as I possibly can....So in my quest to keep my running life interesting....I'm going to sign up for something.
a couple of 5k's?
maybe a 10k?
half-marathon?

I like running with slow/talkative runners. I prefer it to be competition free. And I don't like feeling like I'm slowing people down.

Fit the criteria (haha)?
You in? Let me know! :]

A good friend is always better then my outdated Cristina Aguilera and Nelly-filled MP3 player.

Call me! I need to start running so I can finish the YL 5k! And I would be the perfect, non-competitive, no-way-you-could-slow-me-down partner!

love you!
