Thank goodness it was a nice cool morning because I turned my alarm off and didn't get out until almost 9:00.  Went to the rail trail and enjoyed the wildlife.  I saw a doe feeding her twin fawns, a turtle sunning himself, a hawk, and lots of grasshoppers again.  Did six miles out then turned around to head back.  At mile 10 I caught up to a girl heading in my direction.  She was walking so I stopped and asked her how many miles she had to go and she said 2 ...  I said "me too" :)  I asked her if she wanted to do the last 2 miles together and she was game, so we introduced ourselves and hit the pavement.  I was so happy to have someone get me through the last two miles because it is a slight upgrade the whole way.  The 11th mile was my best time!  When we got back to our cars we  parted ways with the satisfaction of knowing we did it!

I LOVE having someone to run with - really makes time fly. Your run sounds beautiful!

I love having someone to run with too. It helps me get out of bed and keeps my pace faster. I have researched running clubs and the closest one meets for evening runs and Saturday long runs in Solomons, which is about 55 minutes away. Too far for me. :( I'll just have to keep picking up strangers :)
