iamom | okay, so here's something I've never said before

So, after I ran around the highway loop near my house, which is about 3.5 km, and which used to take me about a half-hour or more but which only took 20 minutes today, I was just starting to feel like I was warmed up, and totally ready to keep running! So I did -- I went on a different 3 km loop and then ran all the way up to our front door, still not really tired even at the end. I don't know what has come over me, but that's the first time I've ever run for that long and then said, "I want to go farther." What a great feeling.

I also ran with Riker, the black dog, and he was a fantastic running companion and general pace-setter.
