I love running. It is a huge, foundational part of my life. Sometimes I worry that I talk about it too much and turn into one of those irritating, boring, obsessive, evangelical runners. But today is Friday and I have been posting some heavier content lately, so I thought I would post some pictures from a running group that I have started to train with.

We meet early every Friday morning- I get picked up at 4:30! I am used to awaking at 5:00 am everyday, so it is not too bad. My legs are a little in shock when I start moving, but other than that, it is an amazing way to start the day. It is great to find people to run with here, because I really shouldn’t be running alone on the streets. We follow a pre-planned route on the dark streets, leaving no one behind. It is slightly challenging to navigate the uneven sidewalks, but other than that, it is lovely to be part of Kingston’s routine as it wakes up and stretches into a new day. And this group keeps up a pace that is just a little uncomfortable for me, so I am getting faster! On Sunday, we are running a 5K race in the beautiful Hope Gardens. Wish me luck!
