Running buddies

KW came over early this morning for a run.  Originally an 8K run was planned but we had to curtail that as KW had some important documents that were to be signed by 10:00 am.  No bother a 5K run was decided upon instead.  After a few minutes of chit chat we finished our coffees and started to make our way to the lake.

To say this is perfect running weather would be a huge understatement.  The sun was out but it was a beautiful 15c.  A cool breeze blowing in after a few minutes of stretching we were off.  It was KW's suggestion that we don't circle the lake in our usual way but double back and run in a different direction.  I must admit that never occurred to me.  It was a lot of fun running in the other direction.  Boredom seems to be a problem with most runners so anytime you can do something different it can only help in the long run (no pun intended).

It was a very gentle run today.  I didn't push myself too much.  I was happy to be out there and enjoying myself.  What's really funny is that I'm starting to recognize a lot of the runners/walkers that I see.  I don't acknowledge their presence or anything but its interesting to see them day after day.

Our web pole has finished.  75% percent of you don't having a running buddy.  Look for a new web poll coming in the next few days.

P.S.

Thank you to those who have suggested different songs for me to listen to on my run.  It is much appreciated.  I doubt Lady Gaga or NKOTB will make my playlist.....but thank you for caring.
