Today I am thankful for my running buddies.
They are the ones that are crazy enough to get up at 0400 and set off on a 2 hour drive-for a 5K. They are the ones that run 7 miles to start of a 5K-and then another 6 miles home. They are the ones who I can run with after work and have 'therapy' sessions(that's the nice way to put it, bitch session is probably more appropriate lol). They are the ones who forgo a challenge because drinking beer is more appealing-but then soldier on with newfound friends because well, maybe we should try a couple more challenges. They are the ones who will crawl into a van for 36 hours with virtual strangers and run 200 miles. They are the ones who, if not always embrace, at least tolerate my 'bad idea pants'. They are the ones I can share IHOP with after a race-even better if it's 0230 and 2/3 of the way through Ragnar. They are the ones who will eat bacon at said IHOP even if they are vegetarian(Ragnar does strange things to people).
They are the ones who know the meaning of things like-
'hey wanna hear a funny story...it's about you'
'I once dewormed myself'
'the sasquatch walk'(henceforth renamed the Ambrose walk)
'doggie diabetic needles are great for blisters'
'get up, don't be a baby'
'it's raining, we're wearing black, no one will know if we pee our pants'
My running buddies make my world a better place. Thank you for all you've given me.
