May 1, 2011 Run

May Day turned out to be a great running morning as at least 20 people showed up to enjoy what may be the best running temperature we will see for quite a while.

 

Visitor from Alabama

A visitor, Prince from Birmingham, Alabama showed up this morning as promised.  We teamed him up with Kim and Claudia, and we thank you both for your hospitality to Prince.  He has been attending a conference of the Leukemia Society here in Orlando, and also is a coach for a team in training group.

 

Prince said that he left home before the tornadoes hit Alabama, but that his family was not directly affected by the bad weather.

 

Departing Group Member

Bob pulled me through seven miles this morning, just before leaving for the Northeast today.  He and wife Bev spend summers in Woodstock, VT where it is much cooler and hillier.  They also are off the Eastern Europe for a grand tour, where Bob will add perhaps a half dozen countries to his running resume.

 

Seth on the Road

Our roving running ambassador, Seth, is off to run a bunch of ultra races over the next several weeks.  Do well, Seth, and check in when you can.  Seth is a hard man to keep track of!!

 

Elderly Runners Survey

Dylan weighed in on the issue of age group fairness for older runners. He said:

"I am with Carolyne (being of advancing age)."

 

Have a great week and remember that next Sunday is Mothers Day!
