Creek Road

There where many days my girl friends and I would lace up our running shoes and head out for a run on Creek Road. Some days, we could only make it to the red barn because time was limited but some days, we would "run like Forrest" when training for that race we had coming up and run for hours!! Then we had days we would run because a friend needed some advice, needed to vent (about anything) or just needed someone to be there, in silence, while trying to sort out personal thoughts. But no matter what the reason, our runs on Creek Road were sacred.

I saw one of my running girlfriends today on my way to pick up my oldest from camp. Although we have communicated on facebook, maybe a text here and there over the summer, seeing her today, albiet through our driver side windows, made me realize how much I have missed her and our runs on Creek Road. School starts in a few weeks and I am very much looking forward to seeing my girlfriends again, running shoes and all, on Creek Road!!!
