run a little

We - Laura, Erica, Wendy, Kim, and I - have been training for a 5K for eight weeks as of this coming Tuesday.

This has actually trained us for a few unexpected events as well. For instance, we are better prepared than ever for whatever weather may be occurring at 5am. We also now trained to talk (and laugh, adjust mittens and hats) while running. And, we've deepened our appreciation for doses of nature during our weekend runs, which usually take place later in the morning (sometimes followed by coffee or doughnuts).

This morning fog pillowed in the low areas of our park, but didn't really stand a chance against the wintry sun. The coolest thing? I got to see it.

There's something to be said for friends who get one moving. Mostly, thank you.
