September 28th Run

Today's Run

Some 16 or so of the group showed up this morning to bid adieu to September.  Let's call it Sayonara Sunday.  We were delighted to see some faces whom we haven't seen for while. (Abby, Carly, Wendy and Sarah)

 

Unfortunately, the temperature reverted to the high 70's and made it a tougher run than the last several weeks.  Luckily, Sal Saldano again set up free water and Gatorade at Mile 4.  Sal is a big man, a very good runner, a police officer and a very generous guy.

 

We were expecting two new runners to join us today. Both ran into conflicts and plan to join us soon.

 

About eight of us convened at Panera's for breakfast, where Dylan reported a milestone in his running career.  He has surpassed 12,000 miles which is the equivalent of halfway around the world.  Congratulations!  Dylan also reported that Jen has qualified for Boston. Congratulations to you also, Jen!  Awesome!

 

Carly completed the Medoc Marathon a few weeks ago and regaled us with stories on the dearth of water and the abundance of wine.  As best she remembers, she had a great time.  (Just kidding, Carly!)  Her bottom line, I think, was that it wasn't a very well run race.

 

Hope to see many of you next Sunday. We have a lot of the group training for a bunch of October long races and the consequent need for a bundle of long runs from here on.

 

Have a great week!
