THIS……I thought to myself, what the hell, why not run outside today?
I had a convo with Care this weekend and she disgraced me for running on the treadmill. Yesterday at the gym, an older man asked if I didn’t feel comfortable running outside, he would be more than happy to run with me. He is a serious runner, ex-Marine, everyone knows him at the local gym, so I know he’s legit.
I agreed, and today, we ran a six-mile route.
Lots of hills, lots of exposure, honks, waves, shout outs from cars driving by, and as I sprinted down McClelland across from the local hospital, I felt liberated. What a great feeling to show off that I can run alongside of such a great runner, while it’s raining, and not look a bit distraught.
If you’re a runner, I definitely suggest it.
Well done Randolph, you inspired me to get off the treadmilll.
Were I able to go home for Christmas I would definitely drag Miss Maggie onto my secret muddy torture trails, but if she keeps up this Marine habit she may out-run me. Great work, girl!
