Such profound discoveries are waiting for you when you run or walk with this group.
This morning at 8 a.m. Maggi, Russ, Julius, John T, Sue, and I met at Forbidden Drive. Also there was a fitter from before my time that I'm pretty sure went by the name of Bill. I hope I got that right. We all had different plans and paces but what does that ever matter with this group.
Russ, Bill and Sue took off ahead of the rest of us. Sue and Bill planned 6, Russ was in it for 5 and the rest of us were going for 8. At mile 2 we discovered the title of this blog post. But then if you can do the math you knew that already didn't you? Other discoveries included the observation that puddles are easier to jump over than fallen logs and I wasn't even going to attempt to hurdle the horse droppings.
There were lot of puddles today as you might expect after yestererday's rains. But the sun was shining and the sky was bright blue. At least it was when we started. Around mile 5 the winds started to pick up and by the time we were finished the clouds had covered.
Maggi, Julius and John and I stayed together more or less until mile 4 with a pattern of 1 mile run; 1 minute walk. At that point we spread out a bit. Bad-Ass-Maggi (you should so get those socks) ran the entire final 4. And she did that with a well rested Russ pushing her pace in the final 2.5. Once all had returned safeul we had high fives all-around and went our separate ways to begin part two of our weekends; all before many folks even got out of bed of the day!
And on the way home a snow squall blew through. A winter running day at it's best!
