THIS……I thought to myself, what the hell, why not run outside today?

I had a convo with Care this weekend and she disgraced me for running on the treadmill.  Yesterday at the gym, an older man asked if I didn’t feel comfortable running outside, he would be more than happy to run with me.  He is a serious runner, ex-marine, everyone knows him at the local gym, so I know he’s legit.

I agreed, and today, we ran a 6 mile route.

Lots of hills, lots of exposure, honks, waves, shout outs from cars driving by, and as I sprinted down McClelland across from the local hospital, I felt liberated.  What a great feeling to show off that I can run alongside of such a great runner, while it’s raining, and not look a bit distraught.

If you’re a runner, I definitely suggest it.

Well done Randolph, you inspired me to get off the treadmilll.
