Trail Run

On Wednesday, I tried my hand (or feet I guess) at a trail run with friend Mak.  I say friend....but really I am almost old enough to be her mother.  She is a senior in high school and is super sweet and smart and focused and hard working and has this desire to be great at everything she does and to learn more about everything she does.  She is the kiddo that every parent wants their children to become.

So, she is a trail runner....her whole family is actually.  She has done a Half-Marathon with the whole family and they have signed up to do another in June. (I didn't even know what a Half was when I was in high school...in fact I didn't know the exact distance until March of last year).  She is an amazing tennis player and soccer player.  This is her in the green:


I know her through a couple of different associations and I saw her one day and told her we should go for a run sometime. She called a few weeks later and we had a great run.  So now we try to meet for a run each week.  She took me on one of her runs...in the dirt.  Super fun and beautiful.  A nice break from all the pavement and buildings I usually run through.

Thanks for a great run!
