Back To The Old Routine ... Well, Sort Of

This morning was like old times. I went out to breakfast with Patti and Cara after their run. They did 6 miles today, on their way to 26.2 in the 10.12.08 Chicago Marathon. I was never a huge fan of the whole running thing, but I totally enjoyed the camaraderie of it ... and really enjoyed the breakfasts after our runs! Sitting with them today made me realize even more how I miss it, and couldnt even be doing it if I wanted to. While they are running the marathon this year, I will either be hanging out with a newborn baby ... or cursing the gods for punishing me with an pregnancy longer than the (already long) 40 weeks. I look forward to seeing them occasionally after their runs this summer, to hear about the joys and triumphs (and pains and struggles) of training. If they want to hear about the wonderful world of pregnancy I am sure I can give them an ear full :)
