Another great reason to RUN.

My TOP 10 REASONS to RUN:
  1. Running is cheaper than Therapy
  2. I love that I can go almost anywhere at anytime
  3. It is my special time with the Lord
  4. I love the outdoors and in the elements
  5. Running & doing races is always an adventure
  6. Running feeds my CRAZY.
  7. I love meeting other CRAZIES
  8. My way to be a witness to the Lord
  9. Love to feel so depleted. It is very humbling
  10. I CAN EAT ....CHEESECAKE!!!

So Danielle and I had been planning for a couple weeks to have a Mothers Day Lunch after our run.
We had planned this a couple weeks ago. The plan was to run our normal 8 miles then have lunch at the Cheesecake Factory.
This is after running 8 miles-
I have a little more CRAZY still left!
What we didn't plan on was a beautiful running day at Kensington, which is what we had!
Other than running with a wedgy most of the run, our run was PERFECT.

RUNDOWN:
Distance: 8 miles
Pace: 8.06
Time: 1:05
CALORIES BURNED: LESS THAN 800!


We found ourselves running a sub 8 minute mile. We kept trying to bring it back down. We were huffing and puffing and not talking much. The crazy thing, we were not slowing down. Our lungs were gasping for air but our legs were turning over the miles.


When we finished we did a spit bath in the bathrooms. Between body wipes and bathroom sinks we smelled a whole lot better than middle aged running funk.

When You ask why we RUN....
WILL RUN FOR CHEESECAKE!!

TIME WITH DANIELLE..PRICELESS.
This is one of my most favorite pictures of the two of us. It was a candid. The waitress accidently snapped the photo when my cheesecake tipped over. I was putting it back upright. This photo really depicts our laughter together. I am so grateful for our friendship.
 
 
What Your Favorite Cheesecake???
