Pre-Training Run Number One

Saturday, January 12, 2014:

First run of the year with my sister! It's also the first day of pre-marathon training. Last year we ran a half marathon together and this year we secretly sister-ESP'd each other about wanting to do a full marathon. I was scared to tell her that I wanted to do a full, I imagined dropping her off half way though my runs and continuing on my own.. it was really frightning think about doing it on my own. I don't know how people do it. I mean I love running alone sometimes, I get to clear my head and listen to my hand picked running playlist (which takes hours to put together and plenty of iTunes gift cards to keep it updated do you don't get sick of your playlist), but my sister is my best friend.

Anyway, when I told her I wanted to do the full, she said she already loaded the marathon training schedule on her phone. I love her.

Wendy has always supported me and my running, only starting to run on her own a few years ago. She keeps me safe by wearing her adorably dorky construction vest, keeps me motivated and always packs extra snacks. She also doesn't make fun of me because I ALWAYS over dress for runs unless it is a billion degrees outside. I like that.

You could tell it was our first fun together in a while (since October, I think), all we did was gab.. and gasp for air. I am really excited to continue training with her. She makes this much more fun than it should be.
