Helping Others - July 18, 2017

I can't be present for our Summer Swing run this evening - will need to be with my wife while she undergoes surgery this afternoon. So, I called on my friend Jay Walters and asked him if he would direct the run this evening, and he said he would be glad to, without hesitation. It's great to have good friends! I have a request for you as well - we will not be putting out the cones and signs this afternoon on the course, so if you see someone new, please offer to team up with them and accompany them through the course, to prevent them taking a wrong turn. Be a friend! I will see you next week - Doug

Run 10 In the Books, 3 to Go

Hope that all of you enjoyed the Fourth. We got back in the "swing" of things with our 10th run, and 3 to go. It's been a good summer and the weather has been pretty cooperative, at least as much as could be expected for summertime in Alabama. Last week I spent in Red River, a beautiful little town of 500 people in the heart of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in north central New Mexico. Had the opportunity to climb Wheeler Peak, the highest point in NM at 13,610 feet. Being a runner paid off for me, as I was able to handle the altitude with no problems. Loads of fun, but glad to be back home. Only a few runs left for the series. Hope to see you next week. Here are the results of today's run. Doug
