Week 8 Results

Ever noticed how the wind usually dies down just before the run starts? Back in high school I used to go sailing on Mobile Bay with an older gentleman who had a passion for sailing his Lightning Class sailboat on weekends. One of the things that he taught me was to be back to the boat slip around 5pm, because the wind will be slowing or dying from 6pm to 7pm. He was right, too. I've always remembered that. And, as you know, it applies on land as well as on the water. So that makes our summer runs even tougher, as was the case yesterday, with little or no breeze. Thankfully everyone made it back okay in pretty good shape. I noticed that we drank about twice as much Gatorade as usual. Glad to see you taking care of yourselves, keep it up! Many of you noticed we had a visitor last night. Grace sets the record as our youngest "participant" ever at the age of 1 week and 1 day. Congratulations to Liz and Steve on the birth of their daughter! Also, welcome to Precious for her return, and to Kimberly and Caitlin (Carmen's family) for running with us. Here are the results for run 8. Heads up, we will have our watermelon run on July 12, and our pizza run on the last run (August 2). I'll feed you on those runs, so plan to be here. That's it for now - stay safe and run smart this summer. See you next week. Doug
