I’m not trying to be dramatic but it has now been over 11 weeks since my last real week of running. This morning I did something I have not done in 11 weeks— I ran with a friend!!! It was wonderful! It reminded me of one of the reasons why I LOVE to run. I have missed the girl talk as we pound the pavement. We ran 3 miles and in between each mile we walked a quarter mile. My stress fracture area felt pretty good. I know it’s not completely normal but there was no pain at all.

It was one of the highlights of my day. I am SO thankful for running friends!
