July 10, 2010

Saturday morning started out with the amazing, sudden and brief return of Sophie H. to the Morning Run group!  Great to see you, Sophie, and please come back to MR the next time you are visiting from Va.  After seeing Sophie, Mr. McGehee runs up - having just completed the first leg of his run (7, 8 miles...). 

Then, I had a text from Lisa saying she was coming to walk.  Then there was Noelle.  Then Ann Stuart with her friend in from ChattaVegas (his expression - not mine, I think the Vegas part belongs to Nash not Chatta!)  Last, but never last on a run, Mike C.

Runners: Steve, Mike, Noelle, me.  I joke with the runners that I am the weakest link, but the truth is - I am.  It's great motivation to run with the various runners - especially because I find it particularly hard.  In the heat.  With the hills.  Sweating like a sweatshop slave.  While running, I sound like a horse and marvel that others can talk.  All of the runners and walkers are pursuing their own goals at their own levels of competence.  Patience and practice.  I keep repeating it to myself.

The walkers:  Lisa, Sophie, Ann Stuart and friend (Jo?).  They went through the park and by the farmers' market.  Back at Starbucks, Ruth joined us for refreshments.  We all miss having you walk with us, Ruth.  I hope you are able to lead us on some fast and furious walks soon!

I was looking around the group, pulled out my camera - and only then realized there were no children in our group that day.  The adults managed to pose for a few shots, but sweaty adults have a harder time posing for these 'blog' shots than children.  Bring back the children!

See everyone next week.
