New Running Partner

Ugh, it seems I have to get used to a new running partner every other month. My latest is Chesney Shand. Or she was my one last night. Her husband is the photo manager for Lifetouch. She is a very sweet 39 year old lady from Tennesee. And boy, does she sound like it! I just love listening to her accent. She is fast and pushed me for 3.6 miles in 85 degree weather. I came home and went to bed. It was a good run but my breathing bothered me. I sounded like a summer dog! I don't know if she will come back to the pack run with me. She said she liked it, but it was pretty noneventful. I would like to try to run down by the OK river. That is, if I get the nerve to run with her again.

Another thing I did last night while in the city was drop my Bible off at Ace Binders to have it rebound. It will look so great when it's done, but I will have to be without it for 6 weeks! It's silly, but I already miss it! The guy is a Christian so I felt better. I know he will treat it with love.

I think I will try to run at the lake after school. I have got to start doing it every day. Even if it's just a little!

Running Again!

After being out of my running shoes for 3 weeks I ran a 10K today! I really suprized myself!

Let's go back 3 weeks. After putting up with bloating all summer I decided to go to the dr. She said I needed to have my gall bladder out. A week later, we did it. Because I am in good shape, I was able to be back to normal in 2 weeks and run 6 miles! That's a great reason to stay in shape!

The run was the Hoof in it 10K along the Ok river. It was very cool and I wore sleeves and capris running pants. It was a beautiful run along the river. I want to do some training runs there.

Emily Hogan did the run with me. She finished well and came back for me :) I did it in 1 hr 20 min. I wish it was faster but I felt good!
