J, G, and A came on bikes to meet Grandma on Legacy. We left around 8 p.m., and met her group (2 of my sisters) at Parrish Lane. They wanted to ride the 1/2 marathon route. It ended up quite an entourage; 6 people on bikes and me running. It was hot and muggy and buggy. The bugs would fly in my face and get stuck in the sweat. Gross. We ran to Farmington Station. I didn't know they had opened any stores, but now there's a Harmons at the end of the line. I'll have to bring a few bucks next time for chocolate milk. While loping alongside my sister, we came up with the idea for a team race. Pick your distance, but you, your partner and one bicycle have to cover it, switching whenever you want. Obviously the runner would be the slow step, but it would be interesting to see how to optimize the fast running and switching to rest, etc. |
