Domingo and I ran together again. We did a 5k pre-run and then ran to Edwards Gardens and back. We lost the ninjas along the way but it was nice to go at a slower pace for the 20k distance. It started raining half way into the run which was really refreshing.

When we got back to the store, I was already at 20k but Domingo had to do another couple of loops to get to 13.1 miles. As we said goodbye, I realized that the next time we see each other is potentially at the finish line of the marathon in San Francisco! It suddenly hit me that I’m going to be a marathoner! I can’t believe this is really happening!!

I popped into the community room where the rest of the ninjas were already back and celebrating Sally’s last run with us. I knew I couldn’t stay for long because Charlotte was picking us up to go to Huntsville. I gave Sally a hug (even though I was all wet and gross from sweat and rain) and said goodbye. I hate saying goodbye. 😔
