June 22 Run

Today's run

Today is the second day of Summer and it made itself felt!  We were challenged with a 77 degree start and a killer humidity.  That failed to deter about 18 of us this morning.  It was a very unusual day, given the fact that a third of the group were first timers and visitors.  Adding to the interest was the fact that three of the runners were children in the age 6 to 8 category and they turned in some impressive performance!.

 

We welcome Joe and Viviana to the group, along with their two children and friends from Virginia.  They are planning on becoming regulars.  We also hosted Amanda from Williamsburg VA. She is here with her daughter who is competing in a volley ball tournament in Orlando.

 

Eamonn showed up at Panera's after the run.  He has found a better way-- Skip the run and show up for breakfast!  Just kidding Eamonn.  We know you are a very busy man.  Eamonn announced that he is signed up for the New York City Marathon, so I think we will soon be seeing more of him.

 

Dylan is planning to run the Space Coast Marathon and already is at 10 miles for his Sunday run.

 

Congratulations to Wendy

Wendy reported in last night that she completed Grandma's Marathon in Duluth MN on Saturday. In her own words:

 

"I finished Grandma's marathon this morning in 4:26:37. I took 5 minutes off my PR! It was a great course!  Very hilly (more uphill than down), 43 degrees at the start & about 56 at the finish! A very well organized race & highly recommended! :) Everyone in my pace group had a PR"
