My family that I grew up with is in Ohio, while my family that I married into is in Arizona. Of my family here in AZ, only my father-in-law runs on a regular basis; however, he doesn't run much anymore because of a foot injury. On the other side of the country, my mom, brother, and sister-in-law all run and run a lot. If I wanted, I could run with them all the time and it would make me so happy! Alas, I am 2000 miles away from them. Hrumph.
Today, I mentioned to my FIL that there was a couple's relay race coming up the weekend before Valentine's, and each person in a couple would have to run about two miles. He immediately volunteered to be my partner for it. I can't tell you how excited I am for this race! First, it's only two miles, which will be a walk in the park compared to the 6.2 miles I did last weekend. Second, I have someone running with me (kind of)! Third, this means that not only will my husband and girls be at the event, so will my mother-in-law (whom I'm quite fond of). Heck, I might even get carried away and run with the girls in the jogging stroller! Excited. Excited! EXCITED!
So, here's hoping that FIL and I get a run or two in together before the race in two weeks, and here's to a fun day of running when the event comes along!!!!!
