Running, listening

Today joined the Boulder Road Runners in their Tuesday speed workout. As we started the run, I asked a long-time running partner what the day's workout was going to be. Her response was something along the lines of "I'm not sure; I'm not up for a hard run" said with a sadness that came from deep inside. There are days when one should throw one's plans out the window and do what the day calls for. Today, the day called for running with my buddy and listening to her talk through her worries. That is why we are called running partners.
