Some pictures from last Saturday’s 8-mile run popped up on Facebook.

My friend of 10+ years Carly, me, Carly’s friend Jessica (visiting from Portland).

Carly and me.

It was such a gorgeous, sunny morning to run around Lake Union! I’m hoping for more lovely weather for my long run this Saturday (7 miles).

I’m not normally a super-social runner, but I enjoyed being able to chat and gossip with these gals for a change. Carly is also doing the Labor Day Half, so I’m hoping she’ll do some long runs with me! We’re both aiming for a sub-two-hour finish (her last half was about 2:05).

And yes, I acknowledge how spoiled I am with delicious running scenery all around me. Love it.
