Two whole minutes slower than our 5K in April. Ack! I was really obsessing about that when The Saint reminded me that a) this course had some little hills which I'm not used to b) some of the course was on unpaved, uneven, grass c) we stopped and had a brief chat with the water guy at the 2 mile mark. I felt a little better after his pep talk. All in all, we had a great time. The weather was gorgeous and since we were 2 of about 6 walkers in the race, we pretty much had the trail to ourselves. The Saint brought up the subject of bikes and how it might be fun to get some and ride them along the Prairie Path that runs behind our subdivision. I can't tell you what a departure that is for us. Even when we first started dating, we never an active couple. So it's so weird now to be walking in 5Ks and thinking about biking after being together for almost 18 years. Weird but in a good way. I called my mom and she and my stepfather have bikes that they never use so they're going to let us borrow them. Woo-hoo! As I type this, The Saint is busy at his drawing table, I'm at the desk, Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" is blaring from the steroe and I love him so much I could cry. He is such a good guy. I'm truly blessed.

Congrats! That's two under your belt. I love that you're thinking about bikes now. It's just that having the time together and talking like that, it's such a great thing. My husband and I are like that in the car. That's where we do all our best planning and chatting! Great job, and the start of many adventures, no doubt.
