Met up with Rachel, Karen, Becca, and Smooth at the JPR. Those girls were so nice to wait for me, I broke the cardinal rule of running--I was LATE. We ran and chatted and walked, and chatted some more. Afterwards I made plans to meet / cheer everyone from mile 20 at UVM on Sat. and then run the last 10K w/ Smooth. I gave Karen my number so I can join them on the Murdoch trail for some of their long runs. It will be nice to hang with runners closer to my own age since Cath, Rach and Josse are at the height of their speediness. I had to work directly after and so I did the grossest things I have done yet in the name of running. I washed the sweat off my skin & face with some 'wet one' from the car as I was filling the tank at a gas station, I threw on a button down shirt-dress over my sweaty everything, jimmied out of my running stuff under the dress, put on perfume and went to sell cars at the auction. I felt really bad about it until I arrived at the auction and remembered that 73% of used car dealers arrive wearing acid wash jean shorts, socks with sandals and have questionable hygiene to begin with. As I arrived, a gentleman with a white 5 inch long handlebar mustache (waxed into a fine points) opened the door for me. Ahhh, car dealers. Can't wait till Saturday!
