Just wanted to blog that I had a great run today! 12 miles. Around mile 3, Travis came driving up beside me honking (he was on his way to school). I was very excited to see him. It broke up some of the monotony. Then I noticed a couple minutes later a guy standing on the sidewalk about 50 yards in front of me. When I realized it was Travis I was so excited. He had parked and gotten out to wait for me. He ran along with me (in his flip flops) for a little bit, then turned back to get in the car and continue on to school. He told me later that he yelled my name as I passed the library, but I didn't hear him. He said I was in the zone. I didn't realize he was at the library (I thought he was at the business building) otherwise I probably would have glanced that way (or stopped by) as I passed.
Other than the silly hills, seeing Travis twice made for a really good long run. I actually felt better at the end of the run than at the beginning. I think that's a good sign. I still have a few months of training, but I'm getting into the groove and really enjoying it. By the way, I tentatively decided to go with the Georgia marathon in January.
PS--Good luck, Melanie, with the rest of your training and with your marathon!

I love your running reports!!! Hope you continue to have fun & love it. I was thinking about a half but spent the last while with The Flu. ... We'll have to see what happens when I try to run on Monday.
Awesome, job, Lisa! I was excited that my 7 mile runs yesterday and last Saturday hadn't left me feeling dead, but rather pretty good. Your 12 miles puts me to shame. lol
That's AWESOME that Travis did that. He's so cool. And you felt better at the end of the run than at the beginning? What?! Tell me how you did that please.
nice
if all it takes for a good long run is to see travis twice then can you send me a picture of him so i can carry around with me?
I have a picture of Travis I carry with me on my long runs. I'll loan it to Scott. It doesn't work for me...Dad
