Today's practice went SO much better that I feared it would. I had an awesome time. It has been more than a year since I've seen all these great people and yet, it seemed to great to be back. It kind of reminded me of seeing extended family at holiday time. You kind of just pick up the pieces where you left off. Speaking of seeing family, I am planning a trip to Chicago for the end of May for my cousin's wedding. The violet strapless bridesmaids dress might be part of my motivation to get fit and stay focused. I said "might". :) I ran more today than I thought I'd be able to. You know how Crayola distinguishes it's crayons.. blue-violet or violet-blue.... today I felt more like a runner-walker than a walker-runner and it was a good feeling. I got a chance to see a past season's honored teammate, an incredible man named Skip. He held a fundraising breakfast this morning that was well-attended and very well appreciated after our practice this morning. We all sat out at the picnic tables at Gasworks, steam coming from the hashbrowns, eggs, and coffee. There is nothing quite like the food you eat right after you run... it is amazing. Except for rice pudding after the Vancouver marathon... but that is another story.
For the mean time...... I'm on my way.
