Friday Hills

It was just Carin and me for hills today and we enjoyed the beautiful, humidity-free morning! Carin and I have spent a lot of time together during this training, and enjoy not only camaraderie, but even just the silent miles plugging along and knowing you have a buddy beside you. It's one of the best parts of running and having running friends - just being together, but not always having to talk, but knowing if you have something to say, they'll care and they'll listen. There is also a code in running partnerships that is a special - the catch phrase of Vegas takes on real meaning in running: What is said on the run, stays on the run. I've said before and I'll say again: It's like a sibling relationship, without the rivalry. You accept each other for who you are, you appreciate that they are there through thick and thin, you appreciate the fact that they are there for the good and the bad. We may not talk at all during the week or between runs, but you'd never know it.
