A first

A running first at that.

Yesterday, after a couple of false starts, James and I ran a good chunk of the Capitol Greenway in Raleigh.

In the rain. In the pouring down rain.

Surprisingly, it wasn't half bad. Our spirits were pretty high, despite the leaden shoes, pruned fingers, and rat's nest of a ponytail I finished with.

It was breezy and warm and the rain was cool. We chatted about the past three years of running - remembering our lowest moments and our breakthroughs - and talked about those to come. James is officially in training for the Richmond Marathon on November 10th and after a lot of debate, I've decided to run the half.

It will be my tenth half marathon and I'll run the course on which I ran my first.

I've got a really lofty goal for this one.

I'm terrified of typing it because I'm afraid the moment I do, the procrastinating will begin.
