Thanks Vet Girl

Tonight I had a pleasant surprise. On Tuesday’s I do a quick run through campus and then on to my Spin Class. A small group of Playmakers folks get together around 6:00 for a group run but I generally can’t make it in time. As a complete fluke I ended up getting to the MAC a little before 6:00 and was able to run with the team.

I met a girl who said she was running about 5 miles at about my pace. It was so nice to be running with company, although, and I know you will be shocked by this, I did most of the talking. The thing that got me really geeked up though was that she had run Indy a couple of years ago and said it was awesome. I am so fired up! This May will take the cake! The Indy 500, the Mini Marathon and of course Graeter’s Strawberry Chip ice cream! What more could a boy want?

All in all the run was a little slower than I would have liked but I really had a lot of fun. The team was out in force and we kept seeing friendly faces.

I must confess I’m starting to get a little nervous about Miami. I know I can do the distance, I’m just not sure if I can hold a fast enough pace over 13 miles. I have some long runs coming up and I’ll feel better if I can get some strong results.
