enjoy those times when I can run with someone else. I travel within
the US a fair amount with my job and there are usually a group of us
from work who go to the same location. There's almost always someone
else who runs and it's fun exploring a new place with another runner.
For the last couple of years, I've also participated in a Christmas
Lights Run sponsored by a local running store. It's not a race but a
night group run to see the Christmas lights. That's been a lot of fun.
Running with someone makes the miles go by faster mentally and,
usually, physically. I seem to run faster and with less struggle when
I'm running and talking to someone else.
The other community that I enjoy are the 2-3 virtual running
communities that I participate in and the running bloggers. Those are
a great source of encouragement and help.
Run well, y'all,
Bob

Hi Bob,
Thank you for stopping by! I have to laugh at your Excel spreadsheet with your running log -- that's exactly what my husband does!
Ovens... -- I'm glad that your husband and I can provide you with some entertainment. :) Yes, the Excel sheet is a bit OCDish but it's also encouraging to see progress and is a bit of external motivation to keep heading out the door each morning.
Michelle -- I'm flattered that my blog was the first you read. I hope there's enough of interest that keeps you coming back. I used "Random Thoughts" because that's really how my thoughts are when I run -- all over the place. And, by acknowledging that up front, then I can blog about whatever comes to mind, randomly, of course.
