today was the Pell Bridge race. i was unable to race and so was my running partner. coincidentally, today is the one year anniversary of meeting my amazing and favorite running buddy. in fact, my last thirteen races, i trained with her- early morning runs, evening runs, road trip runs, and races in other states... she was my sole roadside supporter in the Amica marathon, and coached me through last february's cape may marathon training. anyway, sentimental stuff aside, we had a four mile run tonight that was nothing less than amazing. normally, i would never say that a four mile run is amazing. i can't remember the last time i've run anything less than 5 miles... unless it was a 5k... but even after 5ks, i run another 6 or 8 miles later in the day.
we're both coming off injuries, so it is with great dignity that i announce that it was the happiest four miles that i've ever run.
i'm flying out on friday. i'd have to say that out of everything i am going to be missing in the next six months, my running partner will be at the top of the list. she's one of my favorite people. sigh. i'm already starting to plan our spring running activities.
