| | So my friend Sarah who used to be one of the Third Thursday Adventure Run volunteers has been on a running streak. Back when she was about to hit 600 days of running at least 1 mile a day in a row, I told her I wanted to join her for day 600. But then I got Covid and couldn't. Today was day 700, and there was no way I was going to miss it, even though I typically don't run on Sundays. So my wife and I drove out to Tempe Town Lake and met up with her. She wanted to do 7 miles for day 700, but I only wanted to do 3, so she ran 4 miles before we got there. She was nice enough to slow down for us, but sadly my wife couldn't keep up. We ran one mile and reached some picnic tables, so we decided to stop and wait for her. We started running again and stopped at a shade structure/bench which was the turn around point. After talking a while we started off one more time. As we got to the last turn before the parking lot we stopped one last time for Vickie to catch up, but she was only about 200 feet behind us, so we started running again as soon as she caught up because we were only 6 or 700 hundred feet from the parking lot.
She was so grateful for us for coming out to support her. I told her I was grateful for her for letting us, because it's kinda awesome that she's run so many days in a row. I told her I wanted to join her for day 730 (2 years) and certainly day 1,000. We had some good conversation, too, while running. It was so nice to catch up.
