January 15 Run

Today's Run

We had a glorious day to run our various loops.  We started with a calm 42 degree, bright sunny morning.  Adding to the pleasant atmosphere we had four visitors and one new candidate.  As if that weren't enough, we also got to welcome Brad back after a long absence due to injuries.  He was very happy to be back in the saddle.  Good to see you, Brad!  Hope this is the start of a long string of injury free running.

 

All told we had 15 people, including our four visitors and another recruit (See below)

 

The visitors showed up as promised.  Sue and Roxanne from Baltimore and Lori and husband Mark from Dover, Delaware.  Repeat visitor Sue is aiming to run Dublin (as Mike and Bob have done) and Lori will be running Boston in April.  We solved the challenge of providing Lisa with a swift partner, thanks to Luis who stepped up to the plate and accompanied Lori through a fast ten miler. All four of the visitors turned out to be fun people.

 

Debbie showed up today with another recruit.  Her friend Sarah from College Park joined us and asked to be added to our e-mail list.  So we had added three new members in two weeks and they all are teachers. (Debbie, Helene and Sarah).  Dede, you must get back soon to meet your fellow runner-educators!

 

Some of us are questioning what has gotten into Dylan.  He appears to have been fitted with a rocket the last two weeks!  Are you willing to share your secret, Dylan?

 

Disney Update

Dave kindly corrected my mistake in reporting Leslie's Marathon time, as did Leslie.  I had the right info, but transposed the "minute" amount.  Apologies!!  I blame that on my 77 year old fingers!

 

Liz 2 has reported in that she ran a 2:26 Half.  Although a quite respectable time, Liz said it was not her best time.  She has targeted the Disney Princess half as her next challenge.

 

Have a great week!
