It's a back-scratching kinda thing...

So, my friend KT here in the rainy and cold city of Winnipeg, decided months ago that she'd like to RUN the Canadian Diabetes Association annual Run/Walk. She is diabetic herself, and thought this would be a great personal challenge. One of the first "events" she thought of us doing together when she found out I was moving here was running this race... At the time, we both figured that there was a high likelihood that I'd be home for the long weekend, so we both let it go.

Then, a couple of weeks ago, we were out hiking and the run came up in conversation. And I thought to myself, why am I NOT running the race with her? Yes, I haven't run in years. Yes, I don't have enough time to train. And yes, I'm not even signed up. But besides all of that - why not?

As you can tell from some of my entries - KT has been a very supportive and wonderful friend here. I can't help her move in, or drive her places, or even offer up my laundry machines - but - I can run beside her and cheer her on the whole way. See, she scratches my back, I scratch hers. It's that kinda thing.

Some extra information - KT doesn't listen to music when she runs and she's pretty asthmatic - so she doesn't talk while running either. So, I don't know if this is really me helping her out - or if by the 7th kilometer she'll just be running faster hoping to get away from me and my stories...

Love ya sugar!!
