I dont normally post my runs but today was a new accomplishment. Woke up at 4:45 am, yes AM, for those that know me, I tend to get up when God turns on the lights. Alarm went off, Lisa was disoriented and couldnt understand why I was getting up before listening to the news first, Ah Hon its Saturday and Im going running. Washroom, bit of food, and some fluids, Check. Ask myself why Im driving through town in the middle of the night? Repeatedly on my way to Tims. We leave Tims with Ken, Shelley, Adrian, Paul, Fred, and me,,,Ah crap all fast runners. We run around industrial park like a bear is chasing us, not like a long Saturday run. With 9.2km in, time for the Strider half. Whoop, Lots of great people to run with. 6km into the run Adrians yelling I was told this is a none looping run as he proceeds to loop to the back. Running beside Gerrard at km29 hes running 5:50 pace, I said are you trying to kill me, Im at 29km, he says wow, who would have know by the speed your running. Fast forward, 3hours and 16 minutes later with 31.5km done and a PB for distance, my jubilation was diverted to the reason we ran today Strider Medals. Nothing is better than getting a medal for doing something we love doing, and with people we like to do it with. Thanks Alan Theal and Amythest OBrien for being the pace bunnies today, Thanks Ken MacKenzie for always looking out for the person in need. Fred Bailey, thanks for running with me most of the morning. My day couldnt be any better. :)
