Running Friends

Today at the Vulcan Run 10K, I had the good fortune of running into (almost literally) 2 gracious ladies.  I call them gracious because they helped motivate me during the race - when my legs and my breathing got heavy, they urged me on.

This community is a good one - of course, you have your elitists (they deserve it - they've earned it).  But for the most part, everyone I've met on this journey has been great.

Running is not about competition with others, just with myself.  And every time I meet another 'not-so-fast' runner, I'm glad I run (even on a cold morning like today - BRRRR!

In the picture below are me and my 2 new friends, Audra and Darci, at the finish line.
