I went to bed late last night, only to wake up early this morning. There's something about waking up early to get ready for a run.....I can't put my finger on it, really. The alarm goes off and I hop out of bed like a bat out of hell. I get excited and I am usually always on time. Today was no different. Suz and I met at 7 am and did a 25 miler in one of our favorite places. I am glad that I did it since it is the farthest I have run since my surgery. I ran a 50k a week before my foot surgery and that was in September. It has been a long time. I felt great, (most of the time), but mentally, it was a little tough. Running with Suz is like being chased by a Jaguar. It is relentless, fast, and hard, and no whining is allowed. I tuck in behind her and run like hell. Sometimes, I stop to pee, not because I have to, but to get a little breather. Do not tell her my little secret though. I don't want her to catch on to that one. I couldn't ask for a better running partner or friend. Running with someone who is faster than you is a great way to get in a great workout and to learn to run fast. Try it, and try my little secret is you need to take a breather. I won't tell. :)
