Lybi is SO ready to help me sign up for a marathon, and I feel terribly guilty that I am nowhere near that thought. After my complaints about the pokey running 07/30, Lybi said maybe we could try running as fast as I wanted. I guess I should have just trusted her before. :/ I flew on our evening run, and it was fun, but all too soon came the pain. My side hurt soon, too, and I just wanted to walk. When I thought we were home and it was all over, Lybi declared a race. Not to be outdone, I pulled out my Inner Runner (her name's "Breaking the Wind," incidentally:D) and pounded the pavement that last tenth of a mile. It's a good thing Lybi talked me into that. It brought my smile back. She was so kind to let me win. :) |
