MY Running PARTNER...

I don't get sick of saying that Steve has been an incredible inspiration to me in getting into better health this year. I have been working hard and finally got to the point where I can run with him a couple of days a week. Tonight we did about a 45 minute run. We ran on the roads, in the woods, on the dunes, on the beach (PS - beach grass hurts when it is slapping you on the legs as you run on the tiny path that the deer make closer to the dune than the shore! and sometimes running in the soft sand is a lot fo work. BUT I love, love, love, love, love it!) We planned to get Kayaks this summer but I think that is going to be a 2009 goal - I am having too much fun getting into running and trying to form some solid habits so I can keep it up in the winter! Maybe I can get some snowshoes? Dont laugh... I am serious! Anyways, since Steve is training for the Chicago Marathon in October and he does a lot of his running alone, so I am thankful that we get to spend this "quality time" together a couple times each week!
