Yay guys!! I actually got to really run today! :)

I started out warming up with the team for the first time in too long. Then I did a few drills and started a "fartlek" - I was supposed to do what the team was going to do at the end of their workout, but that wasn't going so hot. It ended up being more like 2000 meters of periodic warmup strides. So, when the ladies passed by on their first 2k, I jumped in and joined them for a while! That went a lot better and was a lot more fun too! I took a short break in the middle, then started back with them for the last 850m or so. It felt surprisingly better than I anticipated - my foot didn't bother me on the hill! (that's where it is strained the most). Then I had the amazing priviledge of running a couple thousands with Lisa, Natty, & Kate! Wow, you ladies were fast and looking strong and ready! I only did two of them, then my foot started to threaten me a bit if I continued to batter it. So I did some more light jogging, then strided in with Jane on her last 1,000 - dang, girl, you were cookin'! :) Then I got to walk-jog back to the vans with Wally and promptly get some ice while you all fartleked around the park.

But, anyway, I got to run today! though I know I still have a long way to go to get back... But GOD has been faithful and will continue to be faithful, and I will run my best in honor of Him!
