We did it! Walker and I met at my house at 6:30am and did 3 miles! I am SO excited! This is totally possible. As soon as Walker entered my house I thanked her, because I knew that if she wasn't coming over this morning I would have not gotten up. I found myself laying in bed as my alarm went off at 6am and had threethoughts. 1.) Call Walker and ask if we can delay our run till this evening. 2.) Cancel completley 3.) Do It! Thank God the option was #3.
I knew I would totally hate myself if I didn't do it, it would dissapoint Walker and set a tone that I am not serious about this, and I am.

As we began the walk down my driveway, we were so excited that the sun had already started to rise. It not only felt safer, but it felt much later than it really was. It helped mentally and physically. We were strong the whole way, in fact I felt like I could have run more. I think this is a really good sign of what's to come. We also talked about planning our long runs. We are going to try and get on some asphalt and some high school tracks (to avoid running on strictly concrete). The other awesome part is that we are the exact same pace. That is sure helpful!
Signing off...13.1 it can be done!
So great! I'm hitting the pavement again tonight after 4 days off in LA. Hoping my return to the streets goes as well as yours!
