My old friend, Town Lake

On Sunday morning I got up early (though every morning I get up early these days), and ran on Town Lake with Andrea. I was both dreading it and looking forward to it. Dreading it because I haven't really ran since late November last year, about the time that my boobs started to hurt too bad to actually run. (Though there was that time when I was 8 months pregnant that Barbie and I ran, but we mostly walked. I probably made it a whole mile that time.) And I figured that I'd lost my running mojo. Looking forward to it because I really miss my "girl time" with Andi. We have such great conversations during our runs and it's so therapeutic.
So we started out on the north side of the river under the Mopac bridge, and we did the 1st street bridge loop. We walked only once - across the 1st street bridge. That was our reward for kicking ass for almost 2 miles prior to reaching it.
The run was by no means easy. In fact, if Andi hadn't been there, I might have walked a whole lot more. Actually, scratch that. I probably wouldn't have made it down there in the first place. But it was enjoyable, and it felt great to push myself and know that I wasn't responsible for another life form. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to make it all the way around. I think that's a 4 mile loop. I can't wait until Trent is old enough (and predictable enough) to go with me in his Jogger on town lake.
Now I'm thinking about training for a half marathon.
