Running Buddy

One of the things I've been trying to do more of is run. Running hasn't always been fun for me, but I find the more I do it, the better I get at it and the more I enjoy it. I usually run alone whether it's outside or at the gym, but this week I had the special privilege to have a running buddy!

My friend, Laura, and I decided to go downtown on Wednesday and run beside the Bow River. It was chilly, but still a beautiful day. Laura whipped my butt! The first mile, I ran as fast as I think I have ever run before voluntarily haha. I ended up running my fastest mile during the first mile of our run. To top it all off, we ran (more like crawled) up this enormous staircase that took us back to our vehicles at the top of the hill. Man, I was huffing and puffing.

Here are some pictures of our run:

Some cute little ducks.
