Better together

I’m stealing Donald’s blog title from his Better Together post.

Although I do find times where running solo is exactly what I need, I am finding that I am preferring to pair up with a good friend to share a run, a meal, a movie, or just a good laugh.

With 18 miles scheduled, I was more than happy to accommodate Cindy’s request to join me for her 6 mile run. Her only caveat was that I was sufficiently tired by the time we hooked up. This was easily accomplished by me running 12 miles ahead of time.

Our time together passed quickly. We took turns catching up on the other’s life events.

Talk, talk, talk — run, run, run. Soon, we were done, done, done.
