Teammates

My Wednesday morning run normally consists of 10 miles through the hills of Ruston. Here lately I've been dreading this morning run a lot because I'm not really training for anything and 10 miles is a long way.... But this morning my old high school teammate Jon joined us and it was a lot of fun catching up with him. Jon is a Navy Seal now and, along with his wife Carrie, are moving cross country from the San Diego area to Tampa and stopped in Ruston along the way. We had a lot of laughs this morning reminiscing about "the good ole days" and what have you. I think we both agree that the life lessons learned through our sport of choice in high school has helped us tremendously in all aspects of our life. Of course we had a great coach but the entire cross country team was another family for me. Jon is also a 3:17 marathoner who hopes to one day qualify for the Boston marathon. Thanks for a great run, Jon!! Above is a picture from last May. Thought I'd share it now...

Running does teach you a lot! Wish I had started sooner, but so glad I've joined the movement :)

Connecting with old friends is always awesome! And a running partner always makes it more fun!
