great TNT/Atlanta -- 8-miles -- Church/Valley 7.94 mi 01:24 10:32 pace

What amazing weather! THIS is what I have been waiting for! After running a half-marathon 2 weeks ago and 13 miles last weekend -- both in significantly higher temperatures -- this was a gloriously easy run.

I spent almost the whole time with a guy training for his first marathon. This is the second time we have run together and I really enjoy the conversations we have. He's a logical fit for me because he is the easily fastest run/walker in the group; if I don't run with him, he runs alone and we don't want anyone to be alone! As the run/walk mentor, I try to make sure all the run/walkers have a partner. His pace is nice because it is easy and conversational. I can go faster, but I'm healing and there's something really nice about taking it easy. If I do run the full marathon in Savannah, I will probably run it with him. (Sorry, Bonnie. Once I get healthy, I think I will be able to catch back up to you...but right now you kick my tail!)

Now let's just hope my Achilles tendons don't give me fits this week.

    Thanks, Sally. It really is a slow process, but I think it's moving in the right direction.
