Highlight of the week: Running with a buddy! I honestly can’t tell you the last time I’ve run with someone (aside from races). It was so nice to chat with her along the beautiful scenery on the trails! (PS- Kim has some of the best running clothes ever. Case in point: these running tights. When I saw them, I had to copy her so we could be twinsies!)

This past week was very busy but I was glad I was able to get outside for a couple of runs! I also met another fun running buddy this week! Katie (who blogs at Live Half Full) is so sweet, and she also shares my affinity for Old Navy polka dot sweaters :-) And what’s even cooler is that she is spearheading a great event–the Run for Boston 5k on June 15th in Chicagoland.
The goal is to raise funds from sponsors so that 100 percent of race entries benefits the Who Says I Can’t Foundation and directly to support the rehabilitation of those who lost limbs as a result of the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon. If you are in the area, consider signing up to participate, volunteering or being a sponsor! And if you don’t live in the area, you can always donate online. Check out the website for all the details (and I’m sure you’ll stumble upon my guest post there too!)
And be sure to read my guest post on the Run for Boston 5k blog: What Running Means to Me!

Thats awesome, Valerie! I’m new to running and am a little shy about my pace/distance/stamina so far, but I’m SUPER excited to get to the point when I can run with my friends!

Good for you! No worries to be shy– runners are so encouraging/motivating no matter where you are at I feel! Next time I’m in Minnesota, I’ll call you up to go on a run (and then go shopping!)
Very impressive. It must be so much more fun and motivating to do it with a friend.
It absolutely is- great encouragement and makes the time fly by!
Looks like your training is going well! Those are fun running tights!
Thanks Stephanie! I love a good pair of loud running tights :-)
