Now walk it out, now walk it out

I just got back from a little jogging/walking with Carrie Jensen. It was great - just what I needed. We left for the tail around 10A.M. I'm surprised I woke up that early considering how late I stayed out last night. I got a little water and trail mix and met Carrie at school. The trip over was pretty interesting. We were both decked out in running gear on the subway. Of course the subway cars were shoulder to shoulder and I had a huge back pack on. Carrie seemed surprisingly cool considering how much we stood out and how packed the Subte was. When we finally make it to the trail it was a beautiful thing. I let Carrie take the lead b/c I knew I would not be able to keep up. After about 3.5 minutes of 1/2 a mile I was winded and Carrie had hit her stride. It was great to see her in her zone. At one point she said to me "This is what I have been looking for since I got here." That really made me happy. I know the feeling. I almost made it to the half way point when I spot Carrie headed back in my direction to walk with me. We walked to the fork in the road and for the rest of the trail. I was glad for the rest, the conversation, and the views. I hope I can share similar moments with all my new friends.
