First Team Run

Saturday morning was our first team run. After waking up at the crack of dawn to get to the Upper West Side, I spent an hour and forty minutes (that's the better part of TWO HOURS!) attempting to get to Bethesda fountain. My poor sense of direction aside, it was as though the MTA was playing a cruel joke on me, and preventing me from doing what I needed to be doing.

When I finally did get there, I was lucky enough to find someone else who arrived as awfully late as I did, and we ran together. I was able to do a loop and a half (Approximately 2.6 miles) without breaking stride.

I forgot how great it is to be running with a team. It's so much more motivating than doing it by myself. Even signing up with Grande keeps me on track, because I know that I want to get our matching marathon tattoos!

The ladies in my mentoring group are exciting! Spending some time with them this weekend was fun, and I'm looking forward to the other stuff that's ahead this week!
