I did it, but it wasn't pretty.

 Today it was time for  LSD.  Yep, LSD - as in Long Slow Distance.  Except that it wasn't exactly slow.  Actually, it wasn't exactly fast either.  It was kind of in between, I guess.  Whatever it was it was hard.  Some runs are like that.  Luckily, I had my running buds with me.

I didn't know it was going to be such a tough run when we started out, but I knew that I didn't want to lead the way.  I just wanted to follow today.  Good thing, because the running buds, obviously felt better than I did.  Whew!  Thank goodness!  They set a good pace and I just kept moving.

We finished the run and the above picture shows what I did.  I promptly found a spot in the grass and relaxed.  The buds, on the other hand, did what you're supposed to do.  They stretched.  So, I decided to take a picture of them as well.

I am so very grateful to have good running buds.  They can help you get through those miles that you need, but don't necessarily want to do - and at a good pace!

The picture here on the right is them laughing at me.  That's ok.  It's good to laugh.  I'm glad I could be of service.  ;-) 



I did eventually get up and do my stretching for a few minutes.  Then I decided that the grass felt better....
