That's What Friends Are For

I needed to get my run in before work again, and I was a little nervous about running in the dark by myself. I recruited my BFF and running club buddy Patrick to come with me. He lives right down the street and loves early morning workouts so I knew he would say yes. I was out the door by 6:15 and he startled me standing there on my porch ready to go. I noticed that it wasn't nearly as pitch black as the week before. I decided that since I had a companion, I just wasn't as paranoid. As we were running I noticed the sun rising and the sky was lighting up right before my eyes. I commented how last week it was much scarier and darker. I felt like a baby needing a bodyguard in the morning daylight. Patrick looked at me like I was learning disabled and said "Time change you clown." If I were a cartoon character a lightbulb would have literally gone off over my head. It was a great run and I definitely enjoyed the company. I know Patrick liked getting another 3 miler in for the week, he is a beginning distance runner. If you can't get your friends to run with you at the butt crack of dawn then who will.

I am off to the Gainesville this weekend for the Gator game with my Dad for Tridelta Father Daughter Weekend. I am so excited to spend time with my sisters and see the Gators play! I have a feeling my Sunday run may get pushed to Monday again. But this is the last weekend, I promise ;)
