I used to have the most amazing jogging partner ever! They say that when you walk or run... or even workout it clears your mind, well I realized why I used to be SO happy... when I would run with my buddy we would talk the entire time we ran about whatever came to mind... it was like having a therapist who listened to you and helped you talk through what was on your mind when you were most vulnerable! Also one of the most important things it did was supply accountability... no matter what you didn't want to let the other person down by not showing up because you know if you didn't go they would make an excuse not to go by themselves either...
After reviewing this intelligent thought I think it's time I either reconnect with my previous running partner or find a new one... (the bf is way to fast for me.. lol.. although is a very good listener he would probably want to kill me by the time we got home..) I really miss running... I haven't don't it lately because it is really hard on my knees so I was trying to lose weight before I really started running again.. but maybe I just need to DO IT! The key to success is to JUST DO IT!

| This was my first 5k ever! It was in support of a trip my high school takes every year to Uganda to help out the community there. |
 |
| This was my second 5k, the Red Flannel Run in Feb of 2010. |
 |
| This would have been the third run, Dam to Dam in Des Moines. |
These runs were so fun for me.. it kept me focused and gave me something to look forward to and to not give up on running cause I would soon have a "race" to be in. It was never about losing weight during this time in my life I was just having fun and it was a release from a lot of emotional battles I was trying to conquer... and also I felt amazing while I was running.
