Yep, no I in Team...

Sunday was the AllisonKrewe team's first run together! That's right, all four team members plus junior puppy member Sadie were running all over Rockwall...or at least, all over the area surrounding the apartment complex so that it added up to 5 miles. Making our own path was easy thanks to our new GPS watch which tracked our every move. In my opinion, the run was a good one. Good pace, nice and easy, several challenging hills, only two stops, felt good afterward, and everyone stayed together. Of course, it was a lot more interesting since we were just running without a set path. It was like Choose Your Own Adventure running: do we run down this sidewalk or cross the street? Do we choose the hilly neighborhood or the track? Do we turn around or go down the random dirt path? Do we keep running through the sticky mud that weighs down our shoes or head for the back parking lot of the Hobby Lobby?

Nothing makes running more entertaining than having 3 people and a dog running with you, and having no idea where you're going. Yeah, we know, we're EXTREME.

Oh yeah, I agree. I'm actually kinda sad that the run next weekend when we're in College Station is only 4 miles...

Note to self... do not allow Chris to decide where to run. He likes dead ends and muddy pathways.
