Tonight Thomas and I ran with his boy for about two miles. It was a good run with conversation and just a delightful time. His son ran about 1 1/2 miles with us before walking some and then running again. At the end we picked up our pace significantly for the last quarter mile which left my hands tingling and very wore out. I came home and my wife says I stink and my daughter won't give me a hug because I am sweaty.
The nice thing is that for the first time in a long time I am enjoying running and getting in shape. I look forward to some longer runs which is something I have never said. Maybe because I have a goal in mind, or maybe because I have some good friends that I am doing this with.
Also, Paul and I talked and we discussed the importance of having a runner's pow wow and we decided to run together once a week. Of course, he is hardly here so right after we suggested this I got out my calender, which he hates because I make him commit to something right there, and we set a date for next week and then two weeks after that. He squirmed a little but I had him trapped so he couldn't say no.
I think we are going to invite some more people in this experiment. If you read and want to join or know someone, come on down you're the next contestant on the price is right.
