Whew!

Obviously, I made it back safely to blog about my running experience today. Anne Marie is indeed a woman, and not a violent one, it seems. Whew! We ran a five mile loop around Olympia, and chatted the whole time. She too is 28 years old, and is looking for a steady running partner. She's a reader, so there were tons of books to talk about, and she is finishing grad school to be an English teacher. Hmmm... who do we know that sounds like this?

Around mile 2.5, I brought up the point that I was super glad she wasn't an axe murderer. Her family was very worried about her meeting ME. It just goes to show... most people are good, it's just the few bad ones that make the news. I really believe that.

Anyway, after our run, we stopped in the running store in Olympia, South Sound Running, to inquire about the local running club. It's called Club Oly, and they run together at least twice a week. So tomorrow we are trying out this new group. We'll run the same five miles, and it will be safe AND fun. A whole bunch of people to run with: Hooray!

Also, the Barry's Boot Camp box came today. I've inflated the ball, read the literature, and am ready to commence tomorrow. Bring it on, Barry!
