Today is our oldest son's birthday. If only he were 14 years old I could say I ran a mile for each of his years in my life here on earth....but alas, he is 25 years old so I can't say that. Not sure how that 25 years got away from me! Met up with several other crazy weather runners at 6:00. We had a good size group. Some of them started peeling off around 5 miles others stuck around a little more. Chad, Dan and Doug kept with us even longer. Then only Doug to help us finish things up. I guess that is what we get when Tom, Doug and I are the only ones doing a spring time marathon. Our usual water stop was not available today. Plan B was also out as the water is all off at the park. So we had to go to Plan C which was the gas station at the mouth of the canyon. Up the hill and into the wind and down their slippery entry way and parking lot to get a much needed drink of water. Got home with about .40 more to go so Rui was lucky enough to get a little run in with us too. He gets so sad if we don't have the umph to take him when we get home. |
