Toots and Sally Ride Again

I ran with a coworker today. She just graduated college last year and ran with the cross country team. Let’s just say I slowed her down. We had fun, though, and I’m going to ask her if she’d like a moniker and posting rights, since she wants to run Nerstrand with us. We ran at Carver Lake Reserve. It was LOVELY. Hills, marshes, prairie, and woods, all in one park. I loved it. I’m out of shape, however, and feel disgusting. I’m workin’ on it. Next week, I suggested Hyland-we’ll actually get to see the rest of the park. You know, the part that is not the dog trail. She also liked the idea  of getting a group of REI folk to trail run with us, so we’ll see how that goes. It would be really fun to have a Sunday  morning trail run group. I feel good, I feel great, actually. Lumpy and I rode to the store, then I scooter-ed while Lumpy ran. Good day, lots of exercise, lots of stink and sweat.

I start school this week. I’m looking forward to it, but at the same time, every time I look in the paper, there are no French teaching positions, and I wonder why the hell I’m doing it in the first place. We’ll see. Maybe I’ll stock clothing for the rest of my life at REI. Hell, the insurance is fan-frigging-tastic.    …and I’ve got some fantastic gear for dirt-ass cheap.

Signing out, looking forward to going to Toronto in a month! Woo hoo!!!!!!!
