Then I decided to try a 5k , with the goal of doing a 10 K eventually ( now scheduled for November ) . So the training began . And as I trained , I told Ruth about it and she decided she would run it with me but in Texas . And then I told my friend Nicole about it ... and she decided she would also run it with me , but in Washington .

Question: What might I be quite grateful for in this post ?
I have two friends who like the same thing and will make running a lot more fun .
