My husband, Mike, and I found out in July, that we will be moving to Japan in November. I wanted to make sure that I got to see all of my favorite people before I go. So last week I went home to Indianapolis for a visit. In addition to visiting with friends and family, I was able to run with my training partner, Jenny!!
We had planned to do our longest run on Friday, but decided to meet on Wednesday for an 8 mile warmup run. We met at her house and ran south on the Monon, something that Jenny is not allowed to do without company. It was the first time in all of my training that I had someone to talk to while running! I realized all too soon that it is much harder to run while chatting! But I also know that Jenny is a great running partner. She is easy to talk to and understands when I say, "I... can't... talk... right... now..."
In addition to having Jenny by my side, it was AWESOME to run in lovely Indiana weather! There was no humidity, cooler temperatures, plenty of shade, and more forgiving rays of sun. This run with Jenny made me soooooo excited for the marathon! We have less than a month until the big day and I am looking forward to the finish line!!
SOOO great to have you home, Lynn!
