I'm a lucky woman who loves her life. I have an amazing husband who makes me laugh and challenges me all at the same time I have two very young, bright, funny, entertaining children and a job I love as a physcial therapist. In my free time, I'm a runner (slow but sure), a hiker, a writer (at least by avocation), and a human jungle gym for my little ones. This is my third 1/2 marathon, along with a couple fulls, but my first foray back into distance running since the two back-to-back little ones. (My running partner's favorite fact about me is that my kids are 363 days apart.) It's also my first attempt at any type of blogging, and I'm basically computer illiterate, so hang in there with me.

My substitute running partner

October 28th, 2007 by writeontherun

Ok, so I was a little bummed when Kim told me she was going out of town, kind of unexpectedly. While I was very happy for her to have a little vacation and some time with her family, the idea of a 10 mile run all alone didn’t sound so great. I was at a friend’s Halloweeen party, talking to her friend, Heather, a woman I only see on occasion, but like a lot. She’s running the Seattle half-marathon. “Great,” I said jokingly. “Want to run 10 miles tomorrow morning.” “Actually, yes!” What are the odds of running into somebody (no pun intended) at a party who wants to run 10 miles in the 30 degree weather at 5:30 am? Yippee!! We had a good run, too. She had an even smaller window than me, so we went 9 miles and it felt great! Even threw some hills in there. We finished to a beautiful sunrise and I was off to spend the day at my nephew’s first birthday.

    That is impressive to find someone else that can just pick up and run 9 miles with you.

    Then again, we shouldn’t be too impressed, there are a reported 12 million Americans who run 100 or more days a year… at least some of them must live near you. ;)
