Lacy and I got out for a 4 miler yesterday morning, and it was pretty great. We had a longer run planned, but with recent developments around our Florida Half Marathon (whole separate story), we opted for a shorter and later run so we could enjoy the miles in the sunshine. That turned out to be a good decision. Siena fell asleep in the stroller, and Sadie got to join us too since it was warmer and the roads had finally dried out. We kept a leisurely pace, around 11 min/miles, and chatted the entire time.
One of the things I love about running with a partner is the uninterrupted time you have to talk about any variety of topics. We don't have cell phones out, iPads in our hands, or other media stealing our attention from one another. You just talk. And talk, and talk, and talk. Yesterday we covered everything from our upcoming trip to Florida, to Pink Prom, houses, kids, dogs, races, cycling, and I'm sure a whole other host of topics that I can't remember at this moment. We can switch topics quickly, and always come back to a topic that we got distracted from. And sometimes it's just nice to say things out loud and let go of them. After all, what is said on the road, stays on the road.
