It really helps to have a training group, because if you're me, you will occasionally decide it's OK to not do what you're planning to do. It also helps to have a running buddy. In my case, it's Maria,  who is about my pace and makes easy conversation.

I also ran my first 5K in about 5 years. It was surprisingly OK.

Also, I give y'all an update on Louisa, who broke her ankle last week during a fall at Bandera.

Here is her Go Fund Me link if you would like to chip in.
